This problem appears again for me:

The first IPv6 server in the list (2001:67c:1560:8001::13) does not respond at all:
$ curl -v [2001:67c:1560:8001::13]
* Rebuilt URL to: [2001:67c:1560:8001::13]/
* Trying 2001:67c:1560:8001::13...

* Closing connection 0
curl: (7) Failed to connect to 2001:67c:1560:8001::13 port 80: No route to host

I tried that from two different IPv6 networks, same result.

The other IPv6 hosts return different results for /, I'm not sure if this is intended but it doesn't look good:
2001:67c:1562::16 -> Apache2 Ubuntu Default Page
2001:67c:1562::15 -> Index of /
2001:67c:1360:8c01::18 -> Index of /
2001:67c:1562::17 -> Apache2 Ubuntu Default Page
2001:67c:1560:8001::11 -> Apache2 Ubuntu Default Page
2001:67c:1562::14 -> It works!
2001:67c:1360:8c01::19 -> Index of /

All in all this issue is very annoying since IPv6 is in wide spread use now and it keeps people from installing security updates.
