Please note that ipv6@ietf is not the "Linux configuration help" mailinglist.

It seems that you have two interfaces both connected to the same network and thus both receiving the same route. If you ran DHCPv4 on both interfaces you would likely get the same in IPv4. Quick solution for you, to get 'rid' of the quite valid route over ra0: sysctl -w net.ipv6.conf.ra0.accept_ra=0 And put that line also in /etc/sysctl.conf or another similar location to preserve it for reboots.
