        what is your topology during the experiment?

        my guess is that your packet is trying to go through gif interface
        twice during output path on a same machine, like:
        - first, IPv4 packet tries to go out of gif and encapsulated
          into IPv6 packet (IPv4 payload -> IPv6 IPv4 payload)
        - second, the IPv6 packet tries to go out of (another) gif and
          encapsulated into IPv4 packet
          (IPv6 IPv4 payload -> IPv4 IPv6 IPv4 payload)
        to prevent kernel stack overflows KAME (= FreeBSD) code monitors how
        many times the packet have traversed gif interface, and forbids output
        if it exceeds max_gif_nesting (sys/net/if_gif.c).  if you want to, you
        may try increasing the parameter - but if you increase it too much,
        kernel can panic if you create certain routing table setup.
