Is this true? I'm not aware of a way this could happen. Interface routes are added to the FIB associated with the interface, and of course there is only one FIB per interface. For instance in6_newaddrmsg() provides no mechanism by which to assign the route for the interface's address to anything other than the interface FIB.
