Please elaborate. What is a "bug" here? That Galaxy Nexus exposes "IPv4v6" 
when the baseband module doesn't support it?

I am well aware of this, I work for a mobile provider, trying to deploy 
IPv6. I have a few devices (usb dongles) that work properly, I have a lot 
of others that do not.

But in order to deploy this in any meaningful way, there need to be 
handsets that support IPv4v6 bearer continuity on 2G/3G/4G. Until that 
happens, NAT44 using CGN gives better customer experience.
