being filtered at the router.  It didn't work.  The server would not start 
until I specified the zone suffix.  Now I am wondering why, given that there is 
no ambiguous link-local address anywhere around here, I need to do that.  Can't 
it figure it out itself?

Sure, it can, until a new network interface appears on that box (VPN, tunnel, hardware, etc.).
