It might be the client machine I was testing this on, is doing something funky
with VLANs.

I have now tested with another client, and it properly sees only the
advertisements that are intended for the proper VLAN.

The first machine also has VirtualBox installed, the networking driver of
which I now suspect in causing the physical network interface of the host to
listen for all VLAN traffic. And as a result on that machine both the host
system and the guest VMs catch RAs for all VLANs and configure a whole lot of
addresses they shouldn't. If that's indeed the case, sorry for the trouble. :)
