It appears to be sending the traffic out the virtual-access interface just fine, but I'm not seeing an IPv6 address on the ppp0 interface.

Are you actually seeing RAs with a prefix being sent out by the Cisco?

I'm wondering whether the combination with "ipv6 unnumbered" might 
make the Cisco consider the interface as "there's no prefix here" so
it will only announce a "naked" RA...

We use radius to stick IPv6 prefixes to virtual-interface interfaces,
so I'm not sure whether this...

... would achieve the same job (grab a /64, stick it on the vif,
send out proper RAs).

I'd tcpdump to be sure :-)

did you enable IPv6 on something today...?
