In my case, I have ntpd running on my router running 10.04.2. It appears ntpd is only complaining about interfaces that have both IPv4 and IPv6 addresses at the same time. My lan interface (eth0) has both and ntpd is complaining. It isn't complaining about interface 'i6' which is my IPv6 tunnel to Hurricane Electric.
