With your exact configuration between two 7.0 boxes, I see no indication 
of this error whatsoever, with the /128 prefix.

When I attempted to recreate the tunnel with any prefix length other 
than 128, the same ifconfig error appeared as above. It appears as 
though when creating a gif tunnel, the only IPv6 prefix length that is 
valid as far as ifconfig is concerned is /128 even though the link's 
prefix is /64 even in 7.
