Public bug reported:

Systemd incorrectly ignores whole messages when IAID is missing for some 
sections.
This has been reported upstream [1] and fixed [2].

What is expected to happen is that systemd will ignore only the relevant part 
of the message, not the entire message. 

What is happening is that the entire message is ignored, leading to DHCP
leases not being renewed. This is fairly easy to replicate e.g in AWS by
enabling both an IPv6 prefix and an IPv6 single address to the same
interface.
