Can you post your complete Nmap output? We do use IPv6 source addresses
when sending ND probes; it may be a bug that your source address is
being calculated as ::.

What is the output of this command?

nmap --route-dst ff02::1:ff19:37fe

What is the output of

nmap --iflist

Do the packets appear when you use the --packet-trace option? If not,
then they are being sent by the operating system, not by Nmap itself.
