Yes, but regarding the interaction with the M flag, shouldn't the
Solicit/... exchange at least *contain* address configuration?
(Recall that the M flag should be defined as (an
indication/availability of) a couter part of "stateless address
autoconfiguration").

So,

I would respectfully disagree with this while I see your other points.

How about changing those to:

  M = ON means configuration information (including addresses to be
  allocated) is available from a DHCPv6 service through
  Solicit/Advertise/Request/Reply or Solicit/Reply (if Rapid Commit is
  enabled) message exchanges.

  O = ON means configuration information (excluding addresses) is
  available from a DHCPv6 service through Information-request /Reply
  message exchanges.
