Has anybody here seen garbage IPv6 packets whose source address is
like dead:beef::, where the 32 bits are a reasonable IPv4 address?

That is to say, it's like an IPv4-mapped address but with the
bits at the wrong end, followed by 96 zeros.

We seem to get some of those arriving here, with valid IPv6
destination addresses.
