Because 2::1 is in the reserved address space (see
http://www.iana.org/assignments/ipv6-address-space) and the kernel needs
to have a unicast address for the gateway. You could try using the
link-local address (which is preferred) for that system instead. Or use
a real global prefix or generate a ULA.
