When using 'ip monitor all', prefix banner spamming of the object
type occurs.  On squeeze this does not happen (the object type is
only printed once), so I presume the bug was introduced in a more
recent version that made it into wheezy.
difference between adding 'all' onto 'ip monitor' is that prefix
banner printing is enabled.

Here is a sample of the output I see on my wheezy install.  Notice
that several lines have "[ROUTE]" appended many times to the
beginning.

Those [ROUTE] header are from entries from IPv6 cache which are being ignored by the
filter.

Hi,

As Stephen explained these are expected, so marking this as wontfix.
