Sorry to come late to this thread, but I did some testing with a
freshly-installed copy of Lion (clean install, not upgrade).  DHCPv6
does work as expected as you mention.  I also noticed that
privacy/temporary SLAAC addresses are enabled by default.  Anyone else
seeing that?

Tonight, I am going to test the behavior when I turn off the autoconfig
flag on the prefix announcements.  (I am doing the testing on my home
network.)

Will look forward to Marc's blog entry when it comes out. :)
