This is actually more of an issue than you might think... many users
*already* have broken IPv6 connectivity[0], and it's only going to get
worse with early adopters, since most (IPv4) users won't notice the
problem.
That might not be too bad, except most users tend not to report
problems, and just assume the site is broken.
Of course, in a couple of years when more sites support IPv6, broken
connectivity will be much more obvious, and users will just complain to
their ISP.

[0] Several years back I gave en.wikipedia.org an AAAA record for
testing. (In hindsight, that was probably a bad idea, but anyway.) One
of the users who was unable to access the site, and couldn't work out
why, was another Wikimedia sysadmin.
