Yes, I see that Junos only allows one link-local.  But I stand by my comment--you should not be creating link locals outside of fe80:0000:0000:0000::/64.

fe80:0001:0000:0000::/64 is not valid as a link-local address and I've run into vendors that have issues with such addresses.  See RFC 4291 Section 2.5.6.
