I don't know if this is a bug or not, but this is how it has been since the
beginning when in FreeBSD was introduced the ability to send IPv4 packets via
IPv6 next-hops.

In RFC 5735 we can read:
   0.0.0.0/8 - Addresses in this block refer to source hosts on "this" network.
 Address 0.0.0.0/32 may be used as a source address for this host on this
network; other addresses within 0.0.0.0/8 may be used to refer to specified
hosts on this network ([RFC1122], Section  3.2.1.3).

Why do you think that address 0.0.0.0 is the wrong one? You can still use the
loopback address as the source for ping here: 
# ping 2.2.2.2 -S 1.1.1.1
