OK, thanks.  I was not fully aware of these details, but it does explain
what happens - since native IPv6 is still not ubiquitous, at least one
of the players will be on Teredo, and *that* will not work through a
(default-config) AVM box if the AVM has native IPv6 ("do not tunnel if
you can do native, it's better for your packets"), so all fall back to
IPv4...

Yeah, hard to see how to fix that, without resorting to Teredo relays
(which are not a good approach to latency-sensitive gaming traffic
either).
