Erm. It's routing configuration that's broken not address configuration
(ip doesn't even . Looking at route.c through to ip6_fib.c, it doesn't
support replacing routes at all.

$ grep NLM_F_ ipv4/fib_*.c ipv4/route.c ipv6/fib6_* ipv6/ip6_fib.c
ipv6/route.c

ipv4/fib_frontend.c:            cfg->fc_nlflags = NLM_F_CREATE;
ipv4/fib_frontend.c:            .fc_nlflags = NLM_F_CREATE | NLM_F_APPEND,
ipv4/fib_hash.c:                if (cfg->fc_nlflags & NLM_F_EXCL)
ipv4/fib_hash.c:                if (cfg->fc_nlflags & NLM_F_REPLACE) {
ipv4/fib_hash.c:                                  &cfg->fc_nlinfo,
NLM_F_REPLACE);
ipv4/fib_hash.c:                if (!(cfg->fc_nlflags & NLM_F_APPEND))
ipv4/fib_hash.c:        if (!(cfg->fc_nlflags & NLM_F_CREATE))
ipv4/fib_hash.c:                                          NLM_F_MULTI) <
0) {
ipv4/fib_trie.c:                if (cfg->fc_nlflags & NLM_F_EXCL)
ipv4/fib_trie.c:                if (cfg->fc_nlflags & NLM_F_REPLACE) {
