You can still get routes via DHCP, we just never request them; I think
adding the static-routes option my help a lot in this regard. There are
various options possible for DHCPv6... Would you be in a position to
further describe your setup so we can add this to the test cases?
I'd be interested to know specifically, just to be sure, which pieces of
information for the connection you expect to go through DHCPv6, and
which ones you expect to be retrieved from the RA?
The DHCP only option is just that -- it bypasses RAs largely and just
asks DHCP for as much information as it is possible. If you're using
DHCP for just some pieces (like just the address) then you might want to
make sure what the proper options are enabled in the RAs; such as
OtherConfig and all (the bits that tell systems to further consult DHCP
when they have received a RA).

Title:
dhcp IPv6 sets accept_ra to 0 and doesn't get IPv6 route
Status in “network-manager” package in Ubuntu:
Incomplete
Bug description:
Configure IPv6 network so that the IP address is obtained through
DHCPv6 and setup NetworkManager IPv6 to use the "Automatic (DHCP
only)" method. accept_ra is then set to 0 and NetworkManager fails
to obtain the IPv6 route.
Attached is a script /etc/NetworkManager/dispatcher.d/02allowIPv6route
which works around the issue to set accept_ra to 1.
I am running Kubuntu 13.04, but I believe the bug is not limited to
this release.
