I agree, and I contend there's something missing here in what we’ve said it takes to interoperate.

As I wrote to the other participants in this exchange off list, I remain convinced that the interoperability issue here is due to system administrators ignoring the recommendation in RFC 4862 to always use a valid Prefix Length for the link type in PIO elements without also ensuring that all hosts on the link implement behavior that RFC 4861 implies is OPTIONAL for performing on-link determination.

Here I will add that I’m not going to push for changes to LwIP either locally or upstream until I’m persuaded this interpretation of the existing text is wrong.
