The whole "use link-local next-hops for peers where the session is via
a global address" is one of the most stupid ideas in this whole IPv6 thing
anyway.  There is no benefit, but a heap of drawbacks (like, instant 
black holing if ND fails for the link-local address) - and it's no wonder
that no other vendor but Cisco does this...

I have a feature request to at least add a knob for "please use GUA 
next-hop!" - CSCut26765 - it was opened by a friendly Cisco developer, 
and I have no read access to it, so no idea whether it's proceeding or
not.  But if you have interest in getting this fixed, please open a 
case and link to it...
