"Developers with lack of exposure to real world networks"

And sorry, can't help you with your original question - never used glbp,
never tried to figure out why it's weird with IPv6 (from what I gather,
there's more weirdness, like "you can enable glbp for IPv4 *or* IPv6,
but not for both at the same time").

We use HSRPv2 for IPv6, or just plain anycast router addresses
("ipv6 address $prefix::ffff anycast" and then enter $prefix::ffff 
as default gateway on the hosts).  Anycast is slow to failover, will
not give you adequate master/slave behaviour, but it's there and works,
even on the oldest IPv6 capable IOS version...
