Either there's some IPv6 - IPv4 conversion involved, or Verison just
terminates inbound IPv6 connections on their end.

No. How IPv6 usually works is that you're given a /64 block of IPv6
addresses (whenever it's DHCPv6, RA or static configuration).
But you can clear things out easily.
Can you establish an outbound connection from the router via IPv6?
Something like this should do it:
curl https://ipv6.google.com
