Key to understanding the delegation of /64 blocks is the DHCPv6 client, which is odhcp6c on OpenWrt.
 
Looking back at the ''wan'' interface config there is an ''option ipv6'' line. The default value is ''auto'', which has the effect of automatically creating a virtual interface named ''wan_6'' and running odhcp6c on it BUT ignoring any config you may wish to supply. A better value if multiple /64 blocks are to be used is ''1'' which allows you to configure ipv6 the way you want (static, dhcpv6, ...)
