It seems I forgot the length in the option decoding, which also caused

Should there be a length or whatever on the ia_na1 as well? Or are
ia_na(s) always /128?
Compare the -U dump:
dhcp6_ia_na1_ia_addr1=2001:558:600a:45:f175:3c33:80a8:5582
To the syslog:
Jul 16 23:56:24 lightning dhcpcd[2677]: ext0: adding address
2001:558:600a:45:f175:3c33:80a8:5582/128
That /128 is stored somewhere and you took the time to display it, so
I infer that that means in other cases it might be something else.
NA addresses are never associated with a prefix, so the length has to be
128. The length in fact is not given for NA or TA addresses, only PD.
