That's a bug in the software - not the server system. If the software requires a global source address to work, then it should ask for one when doing the bind or provide an option to do so.
If it doesn't do that then that is a buggy IPv6 implementation and should be reported as such. The problem here is developers using IPv6 with an IPv4 mentality.
