I don't know...perhaps this comment was copied from the IPv4 code.

I don't think so. Even if the system is reconfiguring global
addresses, it should have other stable addresses, such as link-local
and loopback ones. So the address list starting at in6_ifaddr should
rarely be empty.
I suspect the EADDRNOTAVAIL error comes from a different part of the
kernel (or the kernel has a serious bug). If you give us more
information, we may be able to diagnose the problem. The information
can include:
- the result of ifconfig -a inet6
- the result of netstat -anl -f inet6
- the IPv6 address (and port) being bound in the error case
- the (related part of the) source code of the daemon
In any case, you should provide the FreeBSD version of your system.
