That is a bad default behavior.  VPN is not only used for "hiding the own ip". 
There also a lot of scenarios  with split tunneling and other things. If the 
vpn-provider doesn't support IPv6 then he should give configurations hints.
It is also possibe to provide VPNs with IPv4-payload via IPv6-transport. In 
that case the the nm would drop the connection.
