That would indeed be a bug, but I'm not aware of such a bug. As long as the
network provides SLAAC as well as DHCPv6, IPv6 should work. If anyone can
reproduce this on a Nexus device, please file a bug.

Android 5.x does have a bug where if you send the device a default route
via RA and don't provide addressing via SLAAC (i.e., if you do
DHCPv6-only), and also have IPv6 on the cellular network, the device gets
confused. That should be fixed in 6.0.
