That is how I understand it, yes. From RFC 4861, regarding the Managed flag:
M 1-bit "Managed address configuration" flag. When
set, it indicates that addresses are available via
Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol [DHCPv6].
If the M flag is set, the O flag is redundant and
can be ignored because DHCPv6 will return all
available configuration information.
Doesn't say anything about M=1 allowing one to ignore A=1 in a Prefix
Information Option. Also I note that Windows does both when A=1 and M=1.
In any case, the current behaviour, with the connection being activated
and instantly failed over and over and over again, is really undesirable.
