How is this different than a case where someone uses a static (or "nearly
static") IPv4 address to track a user's connections?  Any static address 
can be used for tracking purposes.

The use of temporary addresses in IPv6 will make it somewhat harder for 
servers to track information about individual IPv6 hosts.  They could
still store tracking information based on the prefix, but they would
not know if the prefix refers to a single host or a large multi-user
network.
