And that last address range [fe80::%eth0]/64 on the first line is just

Invalid %thingy right there.
Actually that %thingy is the IPv6 zone_id (which functionally maps to the
interface).
Given that the LLA is the same bit range regardless of interface, on a
multi-homed machine it is necessary to specify interface as well as address.
