This is strange in multiple ways:

First the address. abcd1234abcd1234.onion cannot be a *real* onion
address because onion addresses are supposed to be unreadable :-)
I suspected it to be some kind of test address so i tried to find it in
the Tor source code. No luck. But.... 

I got a telnet reply when i tried to connect to it with AORTA. The
connection was closed immediate after i got the "Escape character is"
message.

With torsocks the address was not resolved and no connection was
established.

About the IPV6 address in your AORTA session. I do not know how you got
this address. AORTA should only resolve to an IPV4 address in the
10.192.0.0/10 range.
