If I set bind_to_address "::" I see with netstat:

tcp6    0   0 :::6600     :::*         LISTEN

Indeed I can telnet -4 across the LAN to port 6600, so I assume 
you are right and the bug is to be closed!

Btw, someone can explain me why other daemons seem to bind on 
both ipv4 and ipv6? Here it is the netstat for sshd:

tcp     0   0 0.0.0.0:22  0.0.0.0:*    LISTEN
tcp6    0   0 :::22       :::*         LISTEN
