I think what you're really running into is that wlan0 comes up after the
sysctls are applied. Using net.ipv6.conf.all.use_tempaddr should fix
this in Precise now for devices that existed prior to the sysctls being
applied, and net.ipv6.conf.default.use_tempaddr was already meant to
take care of the case of devices coming up after the sysctls are applied
(and things have been that was as far as I can remember).

As such, I'll close this as Fix Released because there is an easy
workaround for your case with clearly known devices on a system
(meaning, there was no bug, the sysctls can't be applied if the device
doesn't exist and we're running the sysctls are early and as late as
feasible); and where using the per-device sysctls and .default. would
work, and because we've started shipping Precise with .all and .default
set to =2 along with a kernel patch to allow .all to work properly.

** Changed in: procps (Ubuntu)
       Status: Triaged => Fix Released
