Yup, it doesn't. The IPv6 support is from a user-supplied patch and it looks like more work is needed to make it work well, or at least the way you're expecting. Patches welcome; I have very little experience with IPv6 and no infrastructure here to test it with. I'm CC:ing the people who provided that patch as well, in the hope that they might be able to help some more. -- Steve McIntyre, Cambridge, UK.
