Just to add to this discussion:

IIRC, some implementations kind of disable IPv6 configuration if DAD
fails for *link-local*, but then ignore DAD if DAD fails for
non-link-local addresses.

My personal take is that DAD should be performed for all addresses (no
matter how they are configured) -- duplicate detection once the address
has already been configured could be (safely(?)) ignored.
