Router Advertisements Ignored

According to tcpdump, I am receiving router advertisements in response to my router solicitations (see below), but dhcpcd.log reports "eth1: no IPv6 Routers available."

When dhcpcd-7.0.0 starts, dhcpcd.log reports "all: disabling kernel IPv6 RA support."  Is that why I am seeing this behavior?  Is there a configuration option I am missing?  I am using dhcpcd.conf from https://roy.marples.name/projects/dhcpcdwith the following added:
debug                                                                                                                                                                                                            
logfile /var/log/dhcpcd.log 

Thank you.
