How many scripts are already parsing IPv6 log lines? Show me one, please. I
believe I'm the only one who really looked into the logs because I saw
nobody else ever claiming about the broken printout.

I don't believe that it is a good idea to let broken log output long time
in the kernel, especially in IPv6 world, where changes still ongoing in
current Linux kernel. How longer you wait the more will ran (perhaps) into
temporary trouble.
For all the script writers, add a module option like "broken_log_lines=yes"
;-)
