you cannot match on family inet and inet6 in one term, 8.5 returns the  
following error:

[edit policy-options]
daniel at jun1-test.galilei# commit check
[edit]
   'policy-options'
     Policy error: Policy-statement load-balance, term prefixes:  
unable to merge prefix-list v6_routes because of different address  
family
error: configuration check-out failed

You need to split your policy into two separate terms, one matching on  
family inet and the other on family inet6, e.g.:

[edit policy-options policy-statement load-balance]
daniel at jun1-lab# show
term v4_prefixes {
     from {
         prefix-list-filter v4_routes orlonger;
     }
     then {
         load-balance per-packet;
     }
}
term v6_prefixes {
     from {
         family inet6;
         prefix-list-filter v6_routes orlonger;
     }
     then {
         load-balance per-packet;
     }
}

Hope this helps.
