As I explained in my earlier response - this is not the fault of zeroconf but of the particular tool you are using. The 'ip' tool from the iproute package has no issue displaying the correct address. > Have you considered using IP aliasing to do the trick?

IP aliasing does not add a secondary address; it creates an additional (virtual) device and then adds an address to it. The correct way to add a secondary address is via netlink; currently I use the 'ip' tools to do this but in the future zeroconf will do this directly.
