And in trying to get traceroutes and pings 'through' the ASA, I've found that icmp-types are translated to 'english' but using the ipv4 codes.  I.e. code 3 for ipv6 is time-exceeded but shows up in config as unreachable (because unreachable == 3 in ipv4).

I would certainly open a tac case and insist on getting a bug id.  

C's v6 support across across product lines is pretty craptastic.
I recently got CSCtb29296 filed.  This is very, very, basic broken
functionality that shows their v6 feature support and testing is 
negligible.
