Comment (by s7r):

 The right solution to achieve such tunneled / encapsulated setups is to
 have another torrc parameter `Advertise6to4OrportAddress <IPv6
 address>:<port>` that will tell Tor to include this IPv6 address in the
 descriptor without binding to any IPv6 address because traffic to that
 IPv6 address : port is translated to v4 and forwarded to the IPv4 ORPort.
 At least this is the way it would make sense to me, but more opinions
 required here.
