I’ll run away and think about this some more, but right now I think it might still be a valid interpretation of the RFC 4862 requirement language to ignore PIO entirely if Prefix Length is not valid for the link type. If that means LwIP fails USGv6 and IPv6 Ready Logo testing, then my opinion is that it's a tussle between those certification tests and those parts of the IPv6 standards that are not actually revised by the successor to RFC 4291.
