I don't know 6.x vs. HEAD differences either but the real problem
here seems to be (to my understanding) that it is not a point-to-point
link in the legacy thinking with v6.

what you should do here instead is:
ifconfig gif0 inet6 3FFE:604::2/126

I'd be interested if this helps.

PS: why are you still using 6bone addresses?
