The difference is that with IPv4, a host is unable to send data before completing DHCP negotiation, as it doesn't have an address yet. This isn't necessarily the case with IPv6 as hosts will configure an address for themselves based on router advertisements. So DHCP traffic and "regular" traffic may get in eachother's way when a bunch of hosts become online at the same time.
So you're talking about the case where you're doing stateless addrconf and DHCPv6 to get DNS info? I still don't get what you mean - how is DHCP traffic going to get in the way of "regular" traffic or vice versa?
