So the IPv6 support works as expected as soon as you enable CONFIG_IP_VS_IPV6=y in the kernel config and recompile it. This is an issue purely in the kernel and not in ipvsadm. I'd like to ask the kernel maintainers to turn on that configuration option, as it also breaks IPv6 load balancing using ipvs even if keepalived is not in use.
