What do you mean with "wrongly formatted"?
the ipv6 address that is passed to dns server is surrounded by brackets [address], which i think is not a valid formatted dns name. even if you leave the brackets out, the ipv6 address does not look like a domain name to me.
perhaps i'm wrong and domain names now can nowadays contain [, ], and : chars?
I think they are generally allowed, but not for hostnames (e.g. A and AAAA lookups)
