Comment(by cmouse):

 Perhaps the message should be just changed to more generic, like "see
 manual" or something?

 The code only checks whether use_tempaddr is set to non-zero. It does not
 harm to set it to non-zero on interface which only has link-local address.
 It'll raise awareness on the issue.

 Link-locals can be used to bypass security on same subnet if the owner is
 not careful...
