The second problem occurs when scanning "external" IPv6 addresses. What happens is that I can't scan these addresses as root (this works for link-local addresses though). The error message I'm seeing is (nexthost: failed to determine route to <ipv6 addr>). It's possible to scan the same IPv6 address as a non privileged user but as root it always fails. I've tried adding a zone index or specifying the interface with -e or forcing a TCP scan rather than a SYN scan, but the scan always fails with the same message.
There's a change this is fixed in r28340, which changed the routing loop for BSD. Please try it. Also, see if you can get an --iflist both before and after this revision and see if there are any important differences.
