--- Comment #6 from [email protected] <[email protected]> ---
I have experienced the same problem with deny statements in .htaccess to block
IPv6 addresses with stock Apache 2.2.16 as delivered by Debian. It simply
doesn't work.

This is may be related what is described here:

http://serverfault.com/questions/484239/apache-ipv4-deny-directive-blocks-ipv6-addresses

In brief: IPv6 addresses get blocked by bitmasks for IPv4 addresses, since the
first bits for IPv4 addresses also match the first bits for certain IPv6
addresses.

A test could be to figure out what IPv4 address might have the same bitmask as
2001:4860::/32 and see if that blocks 2001:4860::/32.

With an innocent side victim in IPv4 space, of course.
