I've now captured on eth0 instead so I could look at all
traffic, and I think I found the source of the problem:

20:21:28.268893 xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx > yyy.yyy.yyy.yyy: icmp: time exceeded
in-transit for yyy.yyy.yyy.yyy > zzz.zzz.zzz.zzz: [|ip6] (DF) [ttl
1] (id 0, len 146) (ttl 249, id 0, len 56)

y is me, z is the tunnel endpoint, and x is a router of our
ipv4/6 uplink.

I wonder why I get an (ipv4) icmp in the first place though.

I also wonder what you (should) do with it ...  Does it try to
make an icmp6 from that?  The icmp might not have enough data for
that.
