A small followup:

So it looks like the IPv4 instance refuses TCP, while the IPv6 instance
handles it okay. No filters in the way at my end. The m.root-servers.net
instance looks like it is in Paris or thereabouts - but there is quite
a bit of difference between the instances: IPv4 (highly variable ping,
RTT 700 ms or more) and IPv6 (ping steady at RTT 44-45 ms).

Should of course have checked hostname.bind, which reveals:

% dig @202.12.27.33 hostname.bind ch txt +short
"M-CDG-3"
% dig @2001:dc3::35 hostname.bind ch txt +short
"M-CDG-4"

So it seems my guess of Paris or thereabouts wasn't too far off. And
M-CDG-3 seems to have problems with TCP.

That would explain why I don't see the effect at all. I am getting
M-NRT-JPIX-3 for IPv4 and M-CDG-4 for IPv6 (over either UDP or TCP).
