I believe that is coming from __ip_route_output_key_hash(), line 2232 with __ip_dev_find not finding a device with that address. 

Not applicable for your use case, but __ip_dev_find does not have any checks on which L3 domain the device belongs to so the check does not handle VRF for example. I'll take a look at fixing this next week.

Gotcha. I don't see any checks that the saddr is valid similar to what IPv4 does.

I think the right place to add a check is in ip6_dst_lookup_tail():
    if (!ipv6_addr_any(&fl6->saddr)) {
        // saddr is valid for L3 domain
    }
