I agree.

Dropping packet in this case may introduce another regression, because there was
no drop before commit ccd27f05ae7b ("ipv6: fix 'disable_policy' for fwd packets").

Maybe something like this:
--- a/net/ipv6/ip6_output.c
+++ b/net/ipv6/ip6_output.c
@@ -485,7 +485,7 @@ int ip6_forward(struct sk_buff *skb)
                goto drop;

        if (!net->ipv6.devconf_all->disable_policy &&
-           !idev->cnf.disable_policy &&
+           (!idev || !idev->cnf.disable_policy) &&
            !xfrm6_policy_check(NULL, XFRM_POLICY_FWD, skb)) {
                __IP6_INC_STATS(net, idev, IPSTATS_MIB_INDISCARDS);
                goto drop;

I could submit it formally tomorrow.
