Is there an IPv6 tracker bug? There is for instance an issue with
iptables filtering and DHCPv6 and maybe more of those:

RHBZ #591630 DHCPv6 responses are not allowed by default ip6tables ruleset
RHBZ #552099 system-config-firewall has no simple mechanism to enable
IPv6 DHCPv6 client
RHBZ #656334 Default Firewall blocking DHCPv6

(They all seem to be about the same problem...)

This [1] may be of some help as a high level overview of how to deploy
IPv6 on a LAN and various operating system IPv6 compatibilities.
Fedora is doing quite well! The document is not a configuration help,
but it might make it clear how everything fits together and brush you
up on your IPv6 :-)
