FreeBSD 4.8-p1 weird behaviour when configuring subnet

Hi all,
I've configured a tunnel+subnet on my FBSD box. Tunnel works well, but the subnet is confusing me. My assignment is 3ffe:8114:2000:f80::/60 so I tried to configure 3ffe:8114:2000:f80::1/64 on my xl0 via ifconfig xl0 inet6 3FFE:8114:2000:F80::1 prefixlen 64. At this point the address is not pingable (neither remote or local).
After configuring ifconfig xl0 inet6 3FFE:8114:2000:F80:: prefixlen 64, the F80::1 address is still down. However, a ping to F80:: responds. And the weird part : after a succesful ping to F80::, F80::1 is suddenly ALSO up. I can delete F80:: now and F80::1 stays up and reachable.
Has anyone seen this before, am I overlooking something or does this smell funny?
a.

This was caused by the "2000::/3" default route that was shown in the cisco config example on this site. After replacing this with "0::0/0" all works as expected.
As far as I understand "2000::/3" was meant as a hack?!?

Monoloque detected: I know understand the difference between 0::0/0 and 2000::/3, so the weird behaviour is still there.
