In general, ipv6 security updates work fine (I've been using them for a 
while). Note that the server you get is determined by where you are:

;; ANSWER SECTION:
security.debian.org.    32      IN      AAAA    2001:4f8:8:36::6

so there might by a problem with your particular mirror; you might try 
contacting mirrors@debian.org.
