if_bridge and ipv6 link-local

Historically, ipv6 link-local addressess were not set for bridge
interfaces. Is it still a problem with current if_bridge implementation
that doesn't inherit the mac address by default?
The current behaviour avoids using rtadvd on the bridge interface with
the rc scripts. FWIW, I tried to manually set the link-local address and
all other required aliases, started rtadvd, etc., and all seems to work
correctly.
