A patch is needed, see https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/26847.
Comment at end by me.

Took me quite some days to figure out this is actually a bug in
IPv6.  netcfg doesn't expose this kernel bug, bug NetworkManager
does.  Hope someone can test this patch with linux-lts and
networkmanager (preferably -git one since the release has bugs
with IPv6), I'm too lazy to do that now.
