  It certainly seems to be - at least, I don't have any problems doing 
so.

  Think about this. Look at it from the perspective of the other end
of the tunnel. It has a packet destined for your IPv4 address. What
does it do with it? You either need an endpoint address which is not
within the range routed down the tunnel; or you need an explicit more
specific route to the tunnel endpoint which doesn't route via the
tunnel. This is obviously quite simple with IPv6 over IPv4 tunnels,
but it isn't as obvious for IPv4 over IPv4.
