 BSD systems where this has been fixed or is known to work are:

+Linux prior to 3.17 won't allow userland to manage IPv6 temporary addresses.
+Either upgrade or don't allow dhcpcd to manage the RA,
+so don't set either "ipv6ra_own" or "slaac private" in dhcpcd.conf if you
+want to have working IPv6 temporary addresses.
+SLAAC private addresses are just as private, just stable.

+ArchLinux presently sanitises all kernel headers to the latest version
+regardless of the version for your CPU. As such, Arch presently ships a
+3.12 kernel with 3.17 headers which claim that it suppors temporary address
+management and no automatic prefix route generation, both of which are
+obviously false. You will have to patch support either in the kernel or
+out of the headers (or dhcpcd itself) to have correct operation.

 We try and detect how dhcpcd should interact with system services at runtime.
 If we cannot auto-detect how do to this, or it is wrong then
 you can change this by passing shell commands to --serviceexists,
