ping6 selects the ipv6 address based on netlink route lookup given the
specified interface but without setting the source address. That said,
it is probable that the rule lookup happens with a completely different
ipv6 address. Please verify this. ping6 -I also accepts a source ipv6
address, can you try this?

Otherwise please specify with which 3.x kernel you tested this.

Thanks,
Hannes
