This definitely shows a problem. Either there is something else running and binding to the wildcard IPv6 socket or there is a problem with support of IPv6. > There is no other ntp process running, and netstat -l shows no process > bound to port 123.

Something is preventing it from binding to the IPv6 wildcard socket. You should see a line like this in the netstat output for udp6: udp6 0 0 *.123 *.* The actual line depends on the O/S. The above is from FreeBSD. Do you have other applications on this system using IPv6?
