Sorry to follow up on my own mail...
Cross-checking ipv4, I can see that it behaves the same way as IPv6
(i.e. NETDEV_DOWN partly leaves the interface configuration intact).
The difference though is that dump_ifaddr doesn't include multicast
addresses in its report.
The attached patch disables reporting of multicast and anycast
addresses in inet6_dump_ifaddr
