Comcast6.net PMTU broken

From a host behind a 6in4 tunnel a request to www.comcast6.net hangs.  It looks like a PMTU brokenness issue since the connection is established and the request is sent successfully.

Requesting the same page from a host with a 1500B path MTU succeeds.

This only happens with 2001:558:1002:4:68:87:29:36.  2001:558:1004:9:69:242:76:78 (which I've seen listed for www.comcast6.net though I do not see it in DNS currently) does not have this problem
