Ok...

bash-2.04# strace ping6 -I fe80::800:2b95:1d7b fe80::800:2b95:1d7b
...
socket(PF_INET6, SOCK_RAW, 58)          = 3
getuid()                                = 0
setuid(0)                               = 0
bind(3, {sin_family=AF_INET6, sin6_port=htons(0), inet_pton(AF_INET6, "fe80::800:2b95:1d7b", &sin6_addr), sin6_flowinfo=htonl(0)}}, 24) = -1 EINVAL (Invalid argument)
write(2, "ping: bind icmp socket: Invalid "..., 41ping: bind icmp socket: Invalid argument) = 41
_exit(1)                                = ?
bash-2.04#
