I took the issue upstream, a ticket can be found at [1]. There is an
open question whether the above reads as

  tcp6://[ip_address]:port/

or

  tcp6://[ip_address:port]/

Could you clarify? And would you mind testing the patch? It would be of
great help to fix the issue, as I have no working IPv6 setup to test.
Thanks in advance!

Best regards,
Manuel
