According the the documentation for the ipv6 network attribute https://libvirt.org/formatnetwork.html "When set to yes, the optional parameter ipv6 enables a network definition with no IPv6 gateway addresses specified to have guest-to-guest communications." But this is not the current behavior, the ipv6 attribute is ignored and the resulting /proc/sys/net/ipv6/conf/<virbrX>/disable_ipv6 gets set to 1 even when ipv6="yes". This commit fixes that by checking for the ipv6 network attribute during bridge setup.
