Exactly my point. If the pseudo interface has a 2002::/16 on-link route,
longest prefix match will home in on it instead of the default route.

I guess you could set the 6to4 pseudo-interface up with a (high metric)
default route instead, in which case any other default route would take
precedence and effectively disable the pseudo interface.
