This route is bogus, it basically says the entire IPv6 internet is
directly attached to the layer 2 LAN segment you're on. I've seen NM
create such a route before, but under different circumstances, and
besides that bug should be long fixed - see
<https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=588560>.

Here you have another two default routes via two different next-hops.
Likely one of them is bogus, perhaps caused by a rogue RA. I find it
curious that only one of them is displaying a lifetime counter, too.

Are you certain that NM adds all of these? One way to try is to set the
IPv4 mode to link-local only, IPv6 mode to disabled/ignored, and then
connect to the network. The connection should then «succeed», and you'll
be able to see if anything IPv6-related is going on outside of NM's control.
