Hey, Pekka!

I'm not completely sure the problem is on our end from what I've just  
looked at, but I'll gladly look into this further with you. Testing  
from another v6 native host on our network(2001:4978:2:410::ffff) to  
gap.netcore.fi(2002:5872:3460::1):

20:06:52.555427 IP6 (hlim 64, next-header: ICMPv6 (58), length: 1248)  
2001:4978:2:410::ffff > 2002:5872:3460::1: [icmp6 sum ok] ICMP6, echo  
request, length 1248, seq 0
20:06:52.555513 IP6 (hlim 64, next-header: ICMPv6 (58), length: 1240)  
2001:4978:2:410:211:43ff:fee8:2c76 > 2001:4978:2:410::ffff: [icmp6 sum  
ok] ICMP6, packet too big, length 1240, mtu 1280

If you'd like to contact me off list with the source IP you're trying  
from, I'll set a tcpdump running to capture what's going on with our  
end, and trace it as far towards you as possible while you're running  
it.

The asymmetric and anycast nature of 6to4 makes troubleshooting this  
sort of thing really difficult if you don't have people on all sides  
of the equation involved, so I'm happy to help.
