There's a VoD on Cisco's PEC site that talked about this.

I watched it yesterday.

In the example they used, if a link-local address was used in the neighbor
<ipv6 -LL-addr> remote command, 2 other things were also required:

1) the neighbor <ipv6 LL-addr> source-update command and

2) a route-map that sets the next hop to the ipv6 unicast address for that
neighbor.

I'm not able to try that at the moment, but would you agree?
