Here's what tcpdump sees (just one packet):

The script works great for me, although it finds less hosts than the
other
targets-ipv6-multicast scripts do.
Initially I though it could be a Mac OS X thing, but based on then I saw
Dells, and Sonys among the sample Niteesh sent, so it's probably not
that.
I just tried to change the first byte in the payload from 00 to
something
else and it gave me an additional host.

I'm not sure what's happening for you David? Maybe someone else on the
list
could give the script a go and report back?

I don't know what it is either, but the message "NSE: Error while
parsing IPv6 extension headers" looks like a bug.

I saw that when working on this script too, but it didn't make any
difference as far as I could tell.
It has to do with Packet:ipv6_ext_header_parse not returning true, which I
guess it should?

following patch <to commites script> will improve the performance as
previous script was not  taking host responding with MLDv2 packets

The previous script was scanning 49 hosts whereas after this patch i could
search 169 hosts which is almost all hosts
