You are welcome.

The irony is, it's only after I finally got fed up with this spurious 
delay and spent hours tracing dhclient and fixing the issue that I 
knew keywords good enough to find... the problem already solved in the 
list archive.

I did not realize there is a bug tracker hidden behind the simple 
"dhcp-bugs" email address. I did not look very hard because the ISC 
does not seem responsive to me: this trivial problem has been 
acknowledged 4 years ago and nothing done. Also Fedora currently has 
24 patches for ISC's dhcp, I guess they would be happy to do with 
less.

The ISC ticket number for these patches is: [ISC-Bugs #21219]

In case you care, I also posted the version 4 patch here: 
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=587070
