Looking at the kernel code, I see that kernel does add link-local address automatically in init_loopback(), but that is called from ipv6 notifier block. So, in turn the userspace that brought up the loopback interface may see rtnetlink ACK earlier than addrconf_notify() does it's job (at least, on a slow VM such as netdev). Probably, for ipv4 it's the same, judging by inetdev_event(). The fix is quite simple: set the link-local route straight after bringing the loopback interface. That will make it synchronous.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
