I think there have been not much experiences in using non 64
prefixlen for IPv6 on LAN, so there might be some problem
hidden behind the usage, or maybe not.

Yes, alias is not necessary for IPv6.

But above config does not seems work here.

I think 

 ifconfig_ifname_aliasnum

is just necessary for configuring multiple addrs for one
interface purpose.
