During developing my tool "ipv6calc" last summer and implementing a
RFC 3041 simulation (for demonstrations) I already detect such
problem , too.
I've noticed both authors and got response from both that they will
update the draft based on RFC 3041
http://www.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-ietf-ipngwg-temp-addresses-

See 3.2.1 (4), they already add a note now.
