I'm a little puzzled by this.
First, isn't the :0 address always the link-local on a v6 interface? If the
DHCP-assigned address is overwriting that, that's a general problem.
Second, when assigning and address to an interface, do you really need to keep
track of other addresses as well? That seems bad. Though, in the v6 case, I
suppose all new addresses should be additional logical interfaces, as the
link-local will always be the first address assigned. But in any case, the
notion that an assigned address could be overlaid by another one, from another
source, seems really broken; I'd prefer not to paper over that by simply
amending the nwam behavior.
