I think a key sentence in the draft is this:
"The IPv6 ND function then acts as a Lightweight DHCPv6
 Relay Agent (LDRA) [RFC6221] to forward the message to the DHCPv6
 relay or server function on-board the router."

If it's clear that ND is serving only as a lightweight relay,
doesn't your concern go away? As far as I can see, lightweight
relays are stateless.
