I found that upstream version v0.86 is actually fixing the bug, at least
partly, here is what I did :

-------------------------
With upstream version v0.85 which is packaged with jessie, mtr is not even
starting with ipv6 disable, but with version v0.86 which is in stretch the
error message is still present but mtr looks fully functionnal appart from that.
Shouldn't this bug report be closed now ?
