There is a problem in systemd-networkd version used in OE-core (216 as of now) that prevents a successful communication in a configuration that uses a static or IPv4 LL address alongside a dynamically obtained one. The setup is rather not uncommon as is makes sense to always have a static well known address that a technician or a support engineer can access while in the field.
The current code in systed-networkd uses a clever trick to add a static route to the gateway, to workaround a misconfigured DHCP server that would assign an address from network pool that the gateway is not a part of. The trick was missing a source IP address specification in the static route, thus normally the first assigned IP address would be used for outgoing IP packets. In this particular case the address would the static one, hence the packet would most probably be dropped by the router. Also, it is quite common in smaller networks that the DHCP server, gateway router and even a DNS server are colocated. In these setups the current code will effectively render any communication to or past the router impossible.
