That's precisely my point: this is a feature, not a bug. A host MUST NOT
use a private address to talk to the outside of its site. Very close to
the top of the list of what needs to be done to insure this is to remove
all 6to4 pseudo-interfaces.  Therefore, using 2002::<RFC1918> as a real
6to4 site and not with individual hosts using their own IPv4 address as
the 6to4 address does actually enforce the removal of 6to4
pseudo-interfaces because if they exist it won't work at all (if the
implementation enforces RFC3056).
