Agreed - even though the the link-local address is associated with the
OSPFv3 router¹s adjacency, in the IPv6 SR header there is no indication of
outgoing interface so the IPv6 packet cannot be forwarded unambiguously.
Note that we have a similar restriction for OSPFv3 AS-External-LSA and
NSSA-LSA forwarding address. From RFC 5340:


   Forwarding address
      A fully qualified IPv6 address (128 bits).  Included in the LSA if
      and only if bit F has been set.  If included, data traffic for the
      advertised destination will be forwarded to this address.  It MUST
      NOT be set to the IPv6 Unspecified Address (0:0:0:0:0:0:0:0) or an
      IPv6 Link-Local Address (Prefix FE80/10).  While OSPFv3 routes are
      normally installed with link-local addresses, an OSPFv3
      implementation advertising a forwarding address MUST advertise a
      global IPv6 address.  This global IPv6 address may be the next-hop
      gateway for an external prefix or may be obtained through some
      other method (e.g., configuration).


The OSPFv3 Segment Routing Extensions draft will be updated to correct
this.
