The mystery of /etc/sysctl.d/bindv6only.conf has also been solved. This file was created by the postinstall script of the netbase package between v4.38 (6 Dec 2009) and v4.42 (25 Jun 2010). Apparently those earlier versions of netbase were in Debian squeeze during its testing phase (when I installed those three machines), but luckily never made it to the squeeze release version. Of course, it would have been even better if the later versions of netbase had actively changed or deleted bindv6only.conf (if present and unmodified) to remove its potential to cause problems.
