I think a clearer way to achieve this (if it is the desired behaviour) is:

leaf address-family { ... }
leaf address {
     when ../address-family;
     mandatory true;
}

This has the same effect as below (either both must be specified, or 
neither are), but avoids confusing the reader with a choice that only 
has one option.
