So you are trying to get a rtadv from yourself?  I don't think we support 
that out of the box.  What I do is (adapted to your network):

ipv6_ifconfig_vr0="2001:16d8:ff50:0001:: prefixlen 64"

rtadvd_enable="YES"
rtadvd_interfaces="vr0"

without a rtadvd.conf.  In addition I have ipv6_defaultrouter set to my 
PoPs tunnel endpoint.

That's what works for me.  I'm not sure what the benefit of an 
autoconfigured address on vr0 would be.  I find it easier to refer to my 
local router as <network>::/128.
