You can either do "ipv6 nd suppress-ra" on that platform (which had (has?) the nasty problem of one RA being sent during software upgrade, hello SLAAC on >500 cluster hosts), or use a prefixlen != /64.

this is obviously a bug. I'll speak to my colleagues in NX-OS land to get that fixed.
another workaround may also be to not advertise any prefix on the link at all and just use the RA to advertise the default router. I presume you use manual addressing?
