Google incorrect IPv6 GeoIP

Thu Apr 11 23:13:40 UTC 2013

For some reason Google redirects requests from Dreamhost's IPv6 block
2607:f298::/32 to google.com.hk

The report IP problem form
(https://support.google.com/websearch/contact/ip?rd=1) does not think
IPv6 addresses are valid.

Can someone help with this issue?

Thanks.
