You really, really want to allow ICMPv6. Without ICMPv6 critical things
like path MTU (remember, there=E2=80=99s no router fragmentation in =
IPv6, you
*need* path MTU discovery) and router advertisements.

It=E2=80=99s still possible to filter out undesirable ICMPv6 types, but =
I=E2=80=99d start
out just allowing everything.

I=E2=80=99ve not looked at the rest of it in any depth, but the ICMPv6 =
thing probably
explains all of the IPv6 issues you=E2=80=99ve had.
