Having to give a scope ID for link-local addresses is not something we
can really work around. It's entirely possible for different hosts to
have the same address (except for the scope ID) on different interfaces.

However, -e is supposed to automatically supply the proper scope ID to
addresses that lack it. This was done in r26259; can you check if the
code that was changed in that revision is being executed for you?
