This is on a host that doesn't run cjdns, and thus definitely can't dial addresses within fc00::/8. It looks like it just picked a different address for the same node.
I'm filing this as a bug just because it's going against a very explicit address argument, but I know this might be an intentional case of outsmarting ourselves.
