Should be fixed. What I tried:

1. connecting via IPv4
2. connecting via IPv6
3. connecting via IPv4 to a host that also had IPv6 connectivity but did
   not have ssh with working IPv6 support

All three situations worked flawlessly. One thing to note is that this
comment in the default sshd.config is incorrect:

# Uncomment the next entry to accept IPv6 traffic.
#ListenAddress ::
#ListenAddress 0.0.0.0

With those two options commented sshd will still listen on both IPv4 and
IPv6. You can use ListenAddress to restrict to what interfaces/protocols
sshd will bind.
