I'm seeing an IPv6 breakage in NetworkManager/dhclient6 too.  At first
it looked like an Selinux problem (there was an avc), but fixing that
didn't stop the problem with NM not getting a working IPv6 address via
dhclient6.  BZ#1055226 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1055226

Mine is via an ethernet connection to my cable modem which connects to
Comcast.  I can do a "systemctl restart NetworkManager" in order to get
an ipv6 address.
