Not what I see.  I looked at the most active sources of A6 queries in
a trace of 100'000 UDP DNS requests to a TLD server here.  For many of
the queriers, I was unable to determine the software versions, but
those that did tell me a BIND version, all except two claimed to be
9.2 or 8.3 versions.  The two exceptions claim to run 8.2.2-P1 - those
are somewhat strange, because I didn't think 8.2.2 had A6 support.

$ tshark -n -r ~/dns/dns-query-trace.pcap | awk '/query A6 / { print $3 }' > 
~/dns/a6-query-sources.txt
$ for x in `sort -n ~/dns/a6-query-sources.txt | uniq -c | sort -n | tail -50 | 
awk '{ print $2 }'`; do dig +short @$x chaos txt version.bind.; done
