Packets are sent and received, ip6tables does what it is supposed to and all that. I don't know if ConnMan has anything to do with that. The problem in the applet is a bug though, not a deficiency. Users cannot detect the state of their ipv6 connection if they try. So they can for example be connected, not have a firewall, and not know anything about it.
