I don't know much about 6to4. All of my IPv6 is native, but what you are
saying appears correct.

It is almost like a translation at the router should be happening, but
it is not.

In this case, you are implementing the same IP prefix on both sides of
the router, which won't work.

Try to ping6 www.freebsd.org from the router itself. If that works, the
issue is most certainly the router. If this is the case, hopefully
someone with more 6to4 experience can explain why your router is not
doing the expected thing.
