ifconfig vtnet0 inet6 fe80::1/64
ifconfig vtnet0 inet6 2001:6b8::1/64

This does not create additional link-local addresses, just fe80::1.

No, that's just an error from transcribing the setup.  With that in 
/etc/rc.conf I get three addresses on the interface;
* fe80::1/64
* the EUI64 link-local address (fe80::<EUI64>/64)
* 2001:6b8::1/64
