This time I took the msripv6... address out of the headers, nothing
vendor specific left in this message.

Me too. The (lame) argument is "but I need to use http to configure
the DNS" (as if the DNS isn't (at least) have its own address in there,
essentially all of the time...)
| Wouldn't it be nice to have a script or other defacto functionality

Yes, a way by which the implementation would remember the address it
auto-config itself before, and repeat that would be useful. This is
an implementation feature (or lack thereof) though.

| which EUI-64 part a host should also bind too
I have also wanted (for other reasons) to be able to specify just the
interface ID part of the IPv6 address, and have the autoconf code then
apply that to prefixes advertised from the router(s). This is the kind
of thing that (I expect) will appear as more experience is gained with
the implementations.
