In your previous mail you wrote:

   What report? Solicited node is LINKLOCAL group, there is no need to
   send any joins on those? Or is some weird multilink hack again
   breaking the basic assumptions about Link Local?

=> from RFC 2710:

   MLD messages ARE sent for multicast addresses whose scope is 2
   (link-local), including Solicited-Node multicast addresses [ADDR-
   ARCH], except for the link-scope, all-nodes address (FF02::1).

PS: the reason is that layer-2 devices need to know if they can
remove multicast packets to nodes which are not listening for them
(cf draft-ietf-magma-snoop-02.txt).
