Looking at ntpq_ops.c/decodeaddrtype(), it only shows "b" for an IPv4

That's not surprising since that basically defines broadcasting. IPv6
does not have broadcast.
Fair enough for IPv6 then, but in IPv4 if your local net is say
192.168.1.128/27, your broadcast address is 192.168.1.159.
Perhaps some use should be made of pmode=MODE_BROADCAST?
Probably, but ntpq receives the data as-is and doesn't have access to
that information. I will have to take another look at the definition of
broadcast before I respond to the first part of your question.
The information that this is a broadcast packet should be in the ntp
packet itself, no? (mode 5 = broadcast)
Ye gods, we are drifting into hackers realm ...
