Given you are using NAT make sure that works as expected for the gif
from the remote end.   It might be worth, if you can, do tcpdump on
the external interface of your router.

Also make sure you can reach the IPv4 tunnel destination. 

You may consider using sixxs-aicu given the NAT.

                                                                     ^^^^^^^^^^

There's your problem most likely.  What happens if you remove and re-add the address like:
ifconfig gif0 inet6 2a01:348:6:45c::2 -alias
ifconfig gif0 inet6 -accept_rtadv
ifconfig gif0 inet6 2a01:348:6:45c::2 2a01:348:6:45c::1 alias
