Description
The data provided to the ubus contains the GUA IPv6 but not the link local IPv6. See my question in the forum. Probably this requires some additional calls here.

Research direction
Start by reading ubus.c around line 871 and compare how the GUA IPv6 is added to the ubus data with the available interface address information. The change is done when the link-local IPv6 address is also present in the data returned through ubus; use the linked forum question for the reported behavior and expected context.
