I finally solved this.

First, I ran

	resolvconf -l

to list the interfaces it knew about.


Then I added this line, based upon the interfaces in the above list, to
resolvconf.conf:


	interface_order="fxp0:slaac fxp0"


That puts the interface configured via rtadv before the interface
configured via dchp, resulting in the IPv6 nameserver coming before the
IPv4 nameservers in resolv.conf.
