Unfortunately it does not seem to work here, which is a bit strange if 
it works for you...
Just tested the exact same setup (with my own IP-addresses) and only the 
RA-address is set on the interface if i set IPV6_AUTOCON=yes.
Even after a reboot.
I could then add static addresses manually usin /sbin/ip ...

But if I change ifcfg-eth0 back to IPV6_AUTOCONF=no it will imediately 
set the static address(es)

This is with NetworkManager-0.9.1.90-5.git20110927.fc16.x86_64
