I forgot the rocessing rules for IPv6 messages. The proposed task will not work as intended, as multicast destinations only cause the emission of certain error types. Destination unreachable is not one of them.

The only error we support, that supports emission on multicast is "Packet to Big", however for that we need multicast forwarding for which we know there are problems in GNRC. See RIOT-OS/RIOT#4527 and RIOT-OS/RIOT#5230. So I close this for now. We have the issue as a reminder.
