Can you explain a bit more about how this works?  My understanding
of the current DHCPv6 implementations is that they had a hard
assumption of a /64 prefix and the ability to do SLAAC and hear a
valid RA in order to do DHCPv6.  Are you doing anything special to
make this happen with smaller subnets?
