Yes, I've just tried it, and got the similar result. I thought that
could be because I didn't have DHCPv6 setup, but it seems that's not
the case. Did you have the interface still up when you tried running it
(just to be sure).

Yes, I've uploaded 0.7.7 which doesn't try doing this.

I think we need some help from dhclient maintainers.
