I type "who" on Debian jessie and I do get the full IPv6 address:

$ who
andy pts/6 2016-07-23 01:42 (2001:ba8:1f1:f019::2)
$ who --version
who (GNU coreutils) 8.23

How odd that you are getting completely different results from me. I tried setting PROCPS_FROMLEN and it indeed makes the field wider but it's all blank padded out, this does not make the address any longer.

I feel maybe I have some conflicting lib installed somehow that's messing up the representation of these addresses. I did not back out this version and install 8.23.

Using the "-a" option to put the hostname/IP at the end does allow
it to be of arbitrary length:

$ last -a
andy pts/6 Sat Jul 23 01:42 still logged in 2001:ba8:1f1:f019::2

last -a and netstat --wide do help, thanks for that!
