cups creates redirect to invalid IPv6 address

[Michael Richardson]

I have enabled remote administration of my ubuntu desktop system's CUPS.
I login to it with http://hostname:631/, and see what's up with my printer queue (from my debian laptop)
when it wants me to login, it now asks me to redirect to:

Upgrade Required

You must access this page using the URL https://[v1.2XXX:XXXX:f:2::231]:631/printers/HP_LaserJet_1300.
(X replaces my real IP)

This is not, as far as I know, a valid IPv6, with the "v1." in front of it.
If I remove it, I get a certificate warning, but it appears that I'm unable to program an exception with firefox.

If it is still a problem, are you still interested in finding a solution to this bug?
If you are, could you let us know and, in the current version, could you run the following (only once):
