It could be something unexpected in how the IPv4-in-IPv6 mapping
works. (Note that all of your IP addresses printed by NUT are prefixed
with "::ffff:", which comes from the C library's inet_ntoa
function.)
While the 2.0.5 code looks at the bits in the address, there is still
a chance for something weird since it was written for IPv4 and the
sockets are most likely IPv6 with an IPv4 address.

Is there a chance you can try this with the latest release (2.2.1),
which has some patches suggested by RedHat to improve IPv6 support?
There is a nut.spec in nut-2.2.1/packaging/redhat/ which you can drop
into RPM/SPECS. (Unfortunately, "rpmbuild -ta" probably won't work
because we have three variants of nut.spec in the tarball.)
It has been a while since I did any substantial RedHat packaging work,
but if you need help building an RPM from source without the .srpm,
try emailing the list again, as there are often RPM-savvy readers
listening.
