So, basically you want to have ppp running with unnumbered links, and then
maybe you do routing over that?
I am not surprised that this hasn't been tested, and that there are bugs.
Mostly, IP6CP assigns random IPv6-LL.
If your goal is routing over unnumbered links, you don't really need the
destination IPv6-LL to route to, it's enough to "dev ppp0" or whatever.
If you just want a stable identifier at each end, then put it on lo a /128
alias, and put a route to it.
