As you may see, you have IFDISABLED flag set. When you are configuring /127 prefix, the system does install route on that prefix and automatically clears IFDISABLED flag. When you are configuring /128 prefix, the system won't install route and thus IFDISABLED flag still here. With IFDISABLED flag the system won't do DAD and tentative flag will never cleared. -- WBR, Andrey V.
