Apart from the two IPv4 endpoint addresses you also assign two IPv6
addresses with prefixlen 128 to the gif0 interface? Looks weird to
me...

Try this configuration in /etc/rc.conf instead:

ipv6_defaultrouter="2001:7b8:2ff:146::1"
gif_interfaces="gif0"
gifconfig_gif0="213.154.244.69 193.109.122.244"
ipv6_ifconfig_gif0="2001:7b8:2ff:146::2 prefixlen 127"

This syntax works for my setup (and matches reality - gif0 is a tunnel
with two IPv4 endpoints). I have just tested it with RELENG_6 as of
today.

Brix
