Bits of the internet does not see anything about whether your default 
gateway is link-local or not and do not care.

The default gateway on the box that I'm writing this from is link-local 
and IPv6 works quite nicely.

If you are running pf or another firewall, you should have rules that 
allow traffic to pass through.

It looks like you are trying to use the /64 used for your tunnel on the 
inside network. That's probably what causes the problem.

You should use the "Routed /64" on the inside. If you need more than one 
/64, you can request a /48.

I'm not exactly sure what ipv6_cpe_wanif does, but I have never needed 
it and I run a setup similar to what you describe.
