| Proprietary, granted, but why buggy? 

Because it does not handle non-default values.  This is just like an
application that didn't handle IFS or PATH being different from its
default value would be buggy.  If it absolutely needs a given value, it
should tell the system that.

| bindv6only=0 is assumed by both POSIX and RFC 3493.

As the default value, yes.  Not as the only possible value.
