We notice this here as well, as we're increasingly turning up new services and VMs without IPv4. It fails with a rather cryptic error message:

If the Ubuntu sysadmin team does not manage to dual-stack their public NTP service in three years, perhaps it is time for the ntpdate package to switch to 2.pool.ntp.org?
