I'm not a kernel coding guru.  Last time I bumped into "this" (multihome
not working for v4-mapped address on linux) I reported the effect to
one of the ipv6 lists ...

... and magic happened... one of the kernel network maintainers picked 
up the ball, went looking, and replied "I see the problem and yes, this
is unfortunate, I see" :-) - and then we had patches and things started
working.

Not today, unfortunately.

Antonio was working on multiple listening sockets, but our code is
old and complicated.  Actually it was working for "multiple sockets
of the same socket type" (udp+udp or tcp+tcp) but udp+tcp never worked,
and the momentum got lost...

udp+udp would help here ("bind to explicit v4 and explicit v6 address")
