The issue appears to lie with my router that's acting as a wireless
bridge:

root at rt-n16:/tmp/home/root# ip -6 a s br0 dynamic
27: br0: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP,10000> mtu 1500

These exact same commands where they do work:

root at OpenWrt:~# ip -6 a s br-lan dynamic
28: br-lan: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500
    inet6 2001:db8::92f6:52ff:fef6:1082/64 scope global dynamic

round-trip min/avg/max = 312.070/312.070/312.070 ms

I can't see anything suspicious in the firewall configuration on the
RT-N16 ...
