OK.  So does it work then to pass the -6 flag to ssh?

If sshd is only accepting ipv6, then it may be autossh's port monitoring
feature that's broken.  It uses ssh to forward some ports of its own, and
that feature might be ipv4-only.  You can turn it off by passing -M0 to
autossh.  Does that fix the problem?

If that does fix the problem, then it's not a very good solution, because
you've had to disable autossh's monitoring of your connection.  So it won't
know if your connection has stopped passing traffic, in order to restart
it.  But at least we'll have a well-defined bug to report upstream.
