The ifupdown plugin, which parses /etc/network/interfaces, doesn't have
support for parsing IPv6 specific configuration. So I guess it get's
confused by the "iface eth0 inet6 static" config block.

My suggestion would be, to not use managed=true but instead use the NM
keyfiles plugin to setup your connection.
