My situation is a bit different, but the software was close to your
version and I experienced the same.

But anyways - what kind is your concern of?

As for security: I would suppose that as long as you don't configure
IPv6 on any interface still no IPv6 communication between the outside
and your router should be possible.

As for activating new code paths: I guess this happens anyways if you
activate RR functionality for a new address-family.
