Do you want to do DHCPv6? If so you need to provide a range of addresses, ie

sudo dnsmasq -F 2000:3000:4000:abc::100, 2000:3000:4000:abc::200,slaac
    -d -p 0 -O option6:dns-server,2001:4860:4860::8888

Because you have only provided one address, dnsmasq is assuming you want
only router advertisements. RA happens over ICMP, hence the ff02:1:2 is
not needed and not created.
