OK, I found out that this is documented behaviour, although the hint is
not in the man page.
"secondary --- this address is not used when selecting the default
source address for outgoing packets. An IP address becomes secondary if
another address within the same prefix (network) already exists. The
first address within the prefix is primary and is the tag address for
the group of all the secondary addresses. When the primary address is
deleted all of the secondaries are purged too."
That means there is no way to change the IP of an interface if the
prefix and network size stay the same. Are there any plans to fix that?
