I'm not seeing this.

vXuser ----- routers ------ vXserver

In the first case, the addresses are visible everywhere. In the second
case, the destination address (in one form or another) is visible
everywhere. How is this suddenly a privacy issue?

Compare

       V4user ---- NAT44 ---- v4server
And
     V4user ---- NAT64 ---- v6server

If you embed the internal V4 address in the translated address, the v6 servers will see it, while the v4 servers don't.

We must be talking about different things. What's the internal translated address?

If NAT64 is deployed by ISPs then internal addresses are never seen by NAT64 translators. The embedded v4 address only appears as a destination address from the perspective of the IPv6 host, and even with NAT44 the destination address is always sent as-is.
