Actually, it's worse - hardware switched IPv6 packets are counted on
the IP*v4* counters.

Cisco says it's a chip limitation...

(We noticed this when we had a backbone link that only transitted IPv6
packets, but the IPv4 counters increased happily... opened a TAC case,
TAC could reproduce it, engineering came back with "wontfix" and so
the documentation was adjusted...)
