There is no firewall on the FreeBSD host in question. There is no need,
the host is on the LAN of a Mikrotik router.

Why? On the host in question, I have a statically configured global IPv6
address, and auto_linklocal enabled on all interfaces:

$ ifconfig re1
re1: flags=3D8843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> metric 0 mtu 1500
        options=3D8209b<RXCSUM,TXCSUM,VLAN_MTU,VLAN_HWTAGGING,VLAN_HWCSUM,W=
OL_MAGIC,LINKSTATE>
        ether c4:12:f5:33:c9:7c
        inet 192.168.170.5/24 broadcast 192.168.170.255
        inet6 fe80::c612:f5ff:fe33:c97c%re1/64 scopeid 0x2
        inet6 2001:470:ecba:3::5/64
        media: Ethernet autoselect (1000baseT <full-duplex>)
        status: active
