Kernel did also install an subnet-all-router anycast address if the
prefixlen was 128. If you have NM and also e.g. libvirt, which may
enable ipv6 forwarding, the same /128 got installed as an anycast address
(see /proc/net/anycast6). I did not see any breakage, but it could defer ndisc
responses.

Yes it is and I fixed that yesterday. I guess, I should ask that the patch
should be pushed to stable.
