I think moving it would be no more correct or incorrect, but it would be less
efficient. ipv6_addr_any will only return true if the source address is the
anycast address (::). That address will never be optimistic. So we could
certainly move the optimistic code to where you indicate, but then we'd be
checking the code for optimistic address without any need? Or is there
something I'm missing?

Not sure what you're getting at here. RFC 4429 makes no distinction between
optimistic and non-optimistic packets for recevied frames, so routes for
received packets will be added by the same code that does it currently (which I
admittedly haven't looked into to closely). Packets received for our unicast
address (even if it is optimistic) are handled just as any other packet is (same
as it is for TENTATIVE addresses, as I understand it).
