See, this is why being clear about What Fine Problem You're Trying To Solve is important: AFAICT the installer tries to fetch the mirror list from ftplist1.openbsd.org and not from openbsd.org. Can you confirm that your _actual_ request is to have the installer be able to get the mirror list when on an IPv6-only host? (Please don't rant at people who try to help, particularly when doing exactly what you requested would NOT HAVE HELPED, unless you *want* people to drop you in their kill-file as "not worth trying to help".)
