You want this one, which is not fixed: https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/ticket/5940
Maybe it will be fixed or something in this direction.
No-one is working on it, as far as I know.
Address autodetection is error-prone.
That sounds logical. Also, if you have configured IPv6 privacy extensions.
That just changes the IPv6 address selected by the OS.
I can't see how it's relevant - unless you have *not* configured privacy extensions, and so autodetection exposes your MAC address to the world.
IPv4 address autodetection is the source of many accidental misconfigurations by relay operators.
Especially, if you are behind a CGN and your ISP DNS returns an private IPv4 address.
No, Tor ignores private addresses during autodetection, and relies on other relays to provide the external address.
This only works for IPv4, because relays almost always use IPv4.
