The pre-up line takes care of disabling autoconf, the address line add a static address. Neither of them work in 12.04 beta2. When the system boots up, the staticly configured address is not there, and instead there are dynamicly configured addresses. Interestingly, /proc/sys/net/ipv6/conf/eth0/autoconf still is 1, despite the "pre-up echo 0 .." line, which indicates something with /proc? This basically prevents me from any furthers testing... It might be a case of RTFM but I couldn't find any.
