I have never understood why Microsoft configures those or how one could
even remove them, they seem to be always there and are dormant.

The latter is logical though:
   Windows XP's DNS resolver does not support DNS queries over IPv6.

(IPv6 transport that is, it does do AAAA queries)

Complain to Microsoft for that.... (they will most likely tell you to
upgrade to Windows 7 now though...)

Greets,
