 The patch has the desired effect.  I see a couple of the
 "ipv6nd_handledata: No buffer space available" messages in the log
 from this morning, which at this point is about 5 hours ago.  Since
 then, I've also seen the usual dance where the default router expires
 and it settles on the right one again.  I still have an IPv6 address
 and my IPv6 connections are still good.
