This is the source of your trouble. You're redirecting packets intended
to go via loopback to nat with this rule, which is obviously wrong.
I suggest you to try this rule instead:

iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING ! -o lo -j MASQUERADE


And, by the way, ipv6 has nothing to do with this problem, although the
output of ipv6 routing tables looks abnormal to me too.
