Another question: I assume it also uses the address fd00:4149:4b01::1 ?
Otherwise, you're bootfile URL below does not match.

SLOF only gets addresses via stateless autoconfiguration so far, it does
not get addresses via DHCPv6 yet (it only uses DHCPv6 for retrieving the
bootfile URL). That's why you get this address here.

Another thing to try: Can you download something in SLOF when you
specify the TFTP server and client addresses manually (i.e. without
DHCPv6 and routing involved)? Something like:

load net:ipv6,fd00:4149:4b00::bc,test.dat,fd00:4149:4b00::bd
