I see. Did you check /proc/sys/net/ipv6/ tunables ?

For example, I bet you need to make route/max_size a bigger value than
default (4096)

Following is working for me

echo 16384 >/proc/sys/net/ipv6/route/max_size
modprobe dummy numdummies=2000
for a in `seq 1 1999`
do
ip -6 add add 4444::444:$a/24 dev dummy$a
done

ip -6 ro | wc -l
6008
