I doubt it would qualify as a bug - possibly a bug in the docs, yes.

Because the observed behaviour is definitely intentional. The flow of =
statements in rc.firewall is:

0.	flush all rules
1.	setup_loopback
2.	setup_ipv6_mandatory

and no configuration is going to skip that - hence the only way is to =
use
firewall_script. Then it goes on:

3.	is firewall_type one of the predefined =E2=80=9Eopen=E2=80=9C, =
=E2=80=9Esimple=E2=80=9C, etc.? =E2=80=94> configure accordingly
4.	if not and firewall_type points to a readable file, suck in =
rules from there

So, yes, there will always be mandatory IPv6 rules in place. That=E2=80=99=
s why
they are called mandatory, I figure ;-)

Kind regards,
Patrick
