This is the result of my testing. Seems like client misbehavior, but I 
would like to see if it was really a client or a server problem. The 
latter is hard to compare as I did not found another multiple addresses 
capable server.

dhcpy6d allows to deliver randomized addresses to clients, regardless 
of their SLAAC privacy extensions settings.  You also can define 
different classes with different amounts of addresses, maybe this helps 
to model your environment.
