Ed: thanks, but IP forwarding wasn't the problem; the relevant registry entry in windows was set to enable IP forwarding.
Jean-Francois: you're right about the router advertisements being sent out on the wrong interface! Embarassingly, I had accidentally entered the wrong interface number in tspc.conf, but was deceived by the router advertisements that were still going out on the desired interface. Turns out that the router advertisements were from some previous configuration of a static IPv6 routing infrastructure based on the "appendix E" windows IPv6 network testbed. Switching the interface number fixed the problem.

Hi Daniel.
It may be pertinent to know which version of the TSP client you are
using. Also, did you modify the script at all?
Can you get a dump of the router advertisements being received on
surrounding hosts? If you can't get that, then there may be a
configuration problem on the router PC, for example the RAs being sent
on the wrong interface (just guessing).
