I suggest you upgrade tcpdump to at least 3.6.2, to get IPv6
enabled. It's difficult to say whether these are the same packets.

As said, use link-local addresses.

I'm not sure what you mean by this. In Red Hat Linux terms:
Works:
- ifdown lo ; ifup lo
Doesn't fix the problem:
- ifconfig lo down ; ifconfig lo up
(plus possibly readded routes)
==> you would have to re-add addresses like ::1/128 on the interface too
(even though they already exist there)

Using global addresses depend on a lot of other configuration being right
too. Use only link-local when debugging until that works properly.
