i had seen the same error messages while trying to configure wlan0 using 
start_if.wlan0.

i think that when an interface is first created, the flag ifdisabled is set by 
default. my guess is there exists a small window of time when the interface is 
up, ipv6 is configured but marked ifdisabled, and if ntpd happens to start 
during this period of time, you will see the failure messages.

you may want to check your shell code again and perhaps the rc scripts too and 
see how they interact.
