OK. (Obviously, wireshark would tell one more ... )

Because the Neighbor Discovery RFC is a bit touched in the head, that
could actually mean one of two things: either that there are no IPv6
routers on the network at all (!) or that one or more IPv6 routers are
there and are issuing the "other" bit in the RA.
I'll assume the latter, which would be a Good Thing here.

Sigh; yes. The intended design was that NWAM would simply take care of
this. It was supposed to check for DHCPv6 completion and decide what to
do with the data based on its own set of priority rules.
Obviously, that isn't happening. I'm not an expert in NWAM, so I'm not
sure how to find out where (exactly) the ball is getting dropped. It's
not supposed to be like that.
But the eventhook work-around is fairly trivial.

The man page for dhcpagent(1M) may be a fair start; it includes
examples. Something like this might be useful:
#!/bin/sh
case "$2" in
BOUND6|EXTEND6|INFORM6)
grep -v "DHCPv6 $1" /etc/resolv.conf > /etc/resolv.conf.new
for addr in `/sbin/dhcpinfo -i $1 -v6 DNSAddresses`; do
echo "nameserver: $addr # DHCPv6 $1"
done >> /etc/resolv.conf.new
mv /etc/resolv.conf.new /etc/resolv.conf
;;
esac
exit 0
The exact details will vary depending on how you want your network to
operate.
