I have a couple of hosts where that works perfectly well with separate
'iface eth0 inet...' and 'iface eth0 inet6...' lines.
Also note that RFC1918 and 6to4 (2002::/16) don't mix, as they
technically can't work, unless you route 6to4 globally of course or are
using the IPv4 address of another (public) host in the 6to4 address...

Mine work, but I usually use 'ifdown eth0' and 'ifup eth0', never
invoke-rc.d, can you try it with 'ifdown eth0' and then 'ifup eth0' ?
Also interesting to do is activating debugging.
As the above in effect only calls:
ifdown -a --exclude=lo || true
if ifup -a --exclude=lo; then
log_action_end_msg $?
else
log_action_end_msg $?
fi
try a 'ifdown -a --verbose --exclude=lo' and then a
'ifup -a --verbose -exclude=lo' to see what the results are.

if fails, file bug as serious, apparently that is the only way to get
stuff actually fixed in debian, well at least only for the next one, old
users still stay stuck with broken versions.
