And what make you believe it was broken in the first place, ndisc was
broken because of address length was wrong but in case of 6lowpan it
is still correct to use FF:FE in the IID following which is what is
state here:

These address never changes in case of Bluetooth, besides I don't
think we want to risk the callback calling something else in a
re-entrant fashion, so I think what we should give the IID or the
link-local ipv6 address directly and stop generating the address on
every compress/uncompress.
