New submission from Fabian:

The ipaddress module accepts IPv6 addresses if the IPv4 address is formatted as 
an octal number, but http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc3986#section-3.2.2 doesn't 
allow leading zeroes in the IPv4 address.

This is the current behaviour (in 3.4.1):

>>> ipaddress.ip_address("::1.0.0.00")
IPv6Address('::100:0')

Expected:

>>> ipaddress.ip_address("::1.0.0.00")
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
  File "3.4.1/lib/python3.4/ipaddress.py", line 54, in ip_address
    address)
ValueError: '::1.0.0.00' does not appear to be an IPv4 or IPv6 address

Because I didn't know it better, I first tried to patch the backport but this 
might be still applicable the official code:
