Maybe you can find the bug before me ?

I think when we add the route we cow the metrics almost immediately.
The daddr is, unfortunately, fully prefixed at that point.

Yes, we shall provide a second ip6_rt_copy() argument, with the
destination address.

Hmm, or maybe just change the dst_copy_metrics(&rt->dst, &ort->dst);
call done from ip6_rt_copy(), to avoid doing the COW if not really
needed ?

This is ok if it handles the case where ort's metrics point to
writable inetpeer memory.
