I should clarify: My IPv6 setup is working fine. The problem is that my upstream ISP has routes to most parts of the v6 world but is missing a few, I'm guessing due to a peering dispute. This is the same sort of thing that can happen in v4, although I think it is less common. So this is a "internet connectivity problem in the core", not setup issues on my end.
Actually that's what I would call a broken IPv6. If that happens for IPv4 you would switch to another provider. For IPv6 you assume the application should fix it. JOSM does not offer that feature due to the missing support for this in main Java and not enough reasons to reimplement that ourselves.
Another solution compared to disabling IPv6 totally would be to add the IPv4 addresses of the non-working servers to your /etc/hosts (path correct for Mac?). This changes the resolvers answers, so JOSM will not know that these serves have IPv6 and also not try it for these, but for all the others.
Anyway the correct solution would be to get your provider to fix the routing or change provider.
