I  stand by my statement...

The inability to properly apply ACLs on the 3750 for routes longer than /64 on some 3750 variants is a problem. A route is not an ACL. Using an mock modifed eui64 address for your loopback address so that your control-plane acl works properly seems asine I will give you that.

cam tables are designed or partitioned in general to favor ipv4 route count over ipv6, while route table size is impacted that does not affect throughput.

That's completely true; many switch chips cannot route on longer than /64

arguably a bug, it is also pretty much ubiquitous in the current generation of 
ethernet switches, which are the basis for the majority of routers.
please cite specifics. I have no devices in the field that have such a 
limitation.

    I've heard tell that there are routers that are designed to handle
    prefixes up to /64 efficiently but have a much harder time with
    prefixes longer than that, as a reasonable engineering trade-off.
    Not being a router designer, I don't know how true this is.

    Its -one- route.
