It seems that xfwp is not IPv6-aware - quick search with GNU grep shows that no
traces of IPv6-specific code:
-- snip --
% grep -r INET .
./io.c:    assert(temp_sockaddr_in.sin_family == AF_INET);
./transport.c:  socket(AF_INET, SOCK_STREAM, 0)) < 0)
./transport.c:  rem_sockaddr_in.sin_family = AF_INET;
./transport.c:  if ((*server_connect_fd = socket(AF_INET, SOCK_STREAM, 0)) < 0)
-- snip --
This issue renders xfwp unuseable in IPv6-only environments... ;-(
