I would assume that in the LAN scenario where you have a /64 for your internal network that you would have some sort of stateful firewall sitting infront of the network to stop any un-initiated sessions. This therefore stops any hammering of ND cache etc. The argument then is that the number of packets hitting your firewall / bandwidth starvation would be the the alternative line of attack for a DoS/DDos but that is a completely different issue.
There are many IPv4 networks that don't implement firewall rules for subnets which contain servers. DDoS mitigation is handled differently. It would not be unexpected for these networks to do the same with IPv6.
