The server can't know whether v6-connected peer is dual-stack or not. Right now it assumes it is, so might indeed redirect to a v4-only mirror. MirrorBrain has a bug report about that (with some code) https://github.com/poeml/mirrorbrain/issues/161 about this, but there is little upstream development AFAICT. I'm still looking at mirrorbits for a candidate replacement. Right now 66 of our 116 enabled mirrors have at least one AAAA record, and the distribution varies between 40 and 60% between regions, so it should be doable to exclude v4-only mirrors for v6-connected peers. It's not always been the case. However, my gut feeling is that most v6-connected peers are dual-stack, and so far no one has reported this as a real issue. Personally I think it's more useful to do that for TLS connections (redirecting TLS-connected client to https:// mirrors). That's upstream issue #143 :-) There are still quite a few countries without any TLS-capable mirror though.
