The ifupdown plugin, which parses /etc/network/interfaces, doesn't have support for parsing IPv6 specific configuration. So I guess it get's confused by the "iface eth0 inet6 static" config block. My suggestion would be, to not use managed=true but instead use the NM keyfiles plugin to setup your connection.
