This is because nmap currently does not correctly handle link local
IPv6 adresses. For these you need to set the scope id, because the
address would be ambiguous otherwise. Some time ago (on May 28th) I
already posted a patch to this mailing list which should fix the problem
(but you must give the correct scope).
