No, the problems are probably further back in time. We first started turning up IPv6 back in 1997 or so. There's a *very* good chance that we turned it off a decade ago (or whenever people *first* started listing quad-A's in NS entries) due to breakage and never actually revisited it since then. This would have been in the era of early 6bone and "your IPv6 connection is probably tromboned through Tokyo".
I periodically see issues with idiotic load balancers that don't respond to anything except A records for specific domains. This causes problems when requesting AAAA records and delays waiting for timeouts before going to A. newegg fixed theirs though, yipeee! :)
Don't forget the hotspot vendor that returns an address of 0.0.0.1 for every A query if you have previously done an AAAA query for the same name (and timed out). That's a fun one.
