I just fixed a similar problem with ICMP V4 IRDP sockets being created for no reason. A quick glance suggests that the problem is that main() always calls rtadv_init(), and rtadv_init() calls rtadv_make_socket(). And rtadv_make_socket() creates an ICMPV6 socket. I would guess that the fix is to wait until no_ipv6_nd_suppress_ra() is called before creating the socket, but it would be best if somebody more familiar with that code could comment...
