You'll have to excuse my inexperience with the intimate details
of BINDv9, but is this code already part of BINDv9?
I don't suppose use of EDNS0 would serve as a suitable alternative
distinguishing criterion for whether to add v6 glue records to
replies?

...and no new IPv4 address would be added for the new "separate"
v6-serving hosts, I suppose.
