Looks like a race between ipv6 subnet create and network dhcp port create.

Neutron server adds an ipv6 address to a dhcp port in two cases:

 1) network already has ipv6 subnet by the time dhcp agent requests dhcp port creation - in this case agent includes both subnets into requested IPs of the port and both get allocated;
 2) ipv6 subnet is created after the network already has dhcp port existing - ipv6 IP then gets allocated on the dhcp port as part of subnet creation on the server side;

The bug reveals the third case:
 3) ipv6 subnet and dhcp port are created at the same time: so no ipv6 IP is requested for dhcp port by dhcp agent, as well as no ipv6 address is added to dhcp port as part of subnet creation;

In this case dhcp agent tries to reprocess network after subnet/port creation and updates IPs on the dhcp port:

Server ignores ipv6 auto-address subnets in this request - to be fixed. This should be handled as in case 3, see proposed patch below.
