As a side note: if you accept the RAs, you will not only get the missing
routes, but also the SLAAC addresses. So this is not anymore the
"Automatic (DHCP only)" option as advertised.
Maybe the bug report could be restated as
"Does the 'DHCP only' option for IPv6 in Network Manager make
any sense?"
since you don't get routes with DHCPv6 alone, and without routes you cannot do
much...
Apart from someone declaring the routes manually on the command line,
I'm having a hard time to figure out a use case for this option. Perhaps
someone has better scenarios to propose?
Tested with Ubuntu 13.10 Saucy Salamander.

Title:
dhcp IPv6 sets accept_ra to 0 and doesn't get IPv6 route
Status in “network-manager” package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Bug description:
Configure IPv6 network so that the IP address is obtained through
DHCPv6 and setup NetworkManager IPv6 to use the "Automatic (DHCP
only)" method. accept_ra is then set to 0 and NetworkManager fails
to obtain the IPv6 route.
Attached is a script /etc/NetworkManager/dispatcher.d/02allowIPv6route
which works around the issue to set accept_ra to 1.
I am running Kubuntu 13.04, but I believe the bug is not limited to
this release.
