I don't even think that there is a need for a word; the capacity of a host to have multiple addresses has been built into IPv6 for a long time. In my experience, "multi-addressing" is generally used for a form of multihoming where a host that has multiple global PA addresses form multiple providers to connect to the global Internet via multiple paths. IMHO, a host that has a global address and a local address is neither multihomed nor multi-addressed. It's just a regular IPv6 host.
