A similar issue (not directly IPv6 related) was discussed on fedora-devel not
very long ago. It was about the more "dynamic" nature of NetworkManager and how
certain services currently don't cope with the network not being up and fully
configured, when they start up. [1]

See some suggestions how to address this are at [2].
