Not sure, however an experiment may be in order

# ifconfig gif0 
ifconfig: interface gif0 does not exist
# ifconfig gif0 create
# ifconfig gif0 tunnel <lan IP> 1.2.3.4
# ifconfig gif0 inet6 2abc::2 2abc::1 prefixlen 128
# netstat -nr -f inet6 | grep 2abc
2abc::1                           link#8                        UHL        gif0
2abc::2                           link#8                        UHL         lo0
# ifconfig gif0 destroy

See if your routing table is correct after the test you proposed earlier.
