I don't see any language in the RFC that says that.  The closest thing
I see is:

    Thus, the IPoIB link is formed by the IPoIB nodes joining the
    broadcast group.

but that is far from a definitive statement.  And I would like to make
sure that this patch doesn't break anything.  Can you convince me that
this won't break IPv6 DAD for autoconfiguration?
