As a workaround you can already add the following to
/etc/network/interfaces to change your "fixed address":
# Mark this address as still reachable but deprecated as source
# address for new outgoing connections:
up ip addr change 2001:f00::1234/64 dev eth0 preferred_lft 0
(I'm still unsure if preferred_lft is really the right way but the
only other alternative seems "ip addrlabel" and they are very confusing)
