When I try this (against IPv4 servers - my IPv6 connection isn't yet
active) I get the same two IPv6 addresses for each type of question:

$ host www.debian.org | grep IPv6
www.debian.org has IPv6 address 2001:41b8:202:deb:216:35ff:fec4:6340

I think that you've misunderstood what I said.

The -6 is to force the query to use ipv6 networking so, if your
network isn't ipv6-enabled, the query will fail.

You can use ipv4 networking to query a server for an ipv6 address.

I understood, perhaps I didn't convey that aspect.  At the moment I
don't have an IPv6 namserver running locally so the -6 failed.  I may
need to tell radvd to pass an IPv6 DNS server from the tunnel broker if
that is possible.

 You can use ipv4 networking to query a server for an ipv6 address.

That's what I'm relying on at the moment.

Thanks!

 I.e., instead of connecting to remote host maroon, the ssh session
 connected to my local host (coral) instead (using IPV6?). This is so
 weird, I never see this before. 

Found and fixed the problem:
