In our case, it wasn't enough.  Example:

interfaces {
     ...
     ge-0/0/39 {
         unit 0 {
             family ethernet-switching;
         }
     }
     ...
     vlan {
         unit 0 {
             family inet {
                 filter {
                     input ACL;
                 }
                 address x.x.x.x/24;
             }
             family inet6; <== had to be added
         }
     }

vlans {
     default {
         vlan-id 1;
         l3-interface vlan.0; <== had to be added
     }
}

I'd suspect that adding family inet and a v4 address for management 
purposes made the software confused whether it should be a switch or 
router; however, v4 packets were switched fine without adding these 
two options, v6 weren't.
