Thanks for the off-list replies. Think I've got the issues figured out.

6rd behaves a lot like 6to4 in how it handles traffic destined for hosts in the same ISP IPv6 subnet - and aggressive filtering of protocol 41 on external facing interfaces can break that.

RFC5569 has more details on implementation, in case anyone else runs into this problem at a later point.
