That's correct. RFC2462 clearly notes the point in Section 5.4:
Note that the method for detecting duplicates
is not completely reliable, and it is possible that duplicate
addresses will still exist (e.g., if the link was partitioned while
Duplicate Address Detection was performed).
(rfc2462bis does not change this part, for that matter)
