Why not? This should work just fine.

I can't speak to what the mac implementation does, but what makes you
believe that your node actually has a LL addr? Why do you believe
that you need one?
The current plan for LL addresses is that they should work exactly as
your are describing - you get one only if you don't get some other
kind of address, and never need one (unless no other address is available).
