JFTR: the issue was resolved around 2012-11-09 21:06 UTC.
Thanks to those involved.

Somehow, I'm not aware of a free software resolver library
that'd do that.
Also, somewhat surprisingly, my GNU/Linux hosts seem to prefer
6to4 IPv6 addresses over non-6to4 ones (where there're both)
when initiating connections. (It may be some misconfiguration
on my part, though.)

Which makes me wonder on what are the costs of operating one's
own “IPv6-to-6to4” relay? As it seems, the “no valid route to
192.88.99.1” case is much easier to troubleshoot that the
converse “no valid route to 2002::/16” one, so the latter may
indeed deserve some extra care.
