bfd & IPv6 on Cisco 4948E-E / IOS 15.2

I am attempting to setup bfd with IPv6 on Cisco 4948E-E running IOS 
15.2.  bfd on IPv4 works great, but I'm having troubles with IPv6 and 
spent hours on it.  The trouble exists whether I use OSPFv3 or BGP.  
Each side transmits, but the other side doesn't receive.  Same interface 
works fine on IPv4. Any and all help would be appreciated!

Using this on the interface of each switch:

  ospfv3 1 bfd
  ospfv3 1 ipv6 area 0
  ospfv3 1 ipv6 bfd
  bfd interval 500 min_rx 500 multiplier 40
