Yes, this would be analogous to an Ethernet using DHCPv6 for address
assignment but the DHCPv6 server/relay is temporarily down when the
network connection attempt is being made.

I think that ending up with IPv4-only (rather than failing outright) is
acceptable in this case. (Except, of course, the user has set
may-fail=false for IPv6.)
