Actually it would work fine since an IPv6 client would not talk to the authoritative directly anyway, it would go through a recursive that is probably dual stack unless you are playing the DNS64 game.

A client running on an IPv6-only network will first make a DNS call to get the AAAA record for the CA's OCSP or CRL service. So the CA needs to make sure that those DNS lookups can be served via IPv6.

Like other CAs, we also don't see any demand for it today, but I agree that this is a collective action problem and CAs need to remove certificate validation from the list of problems that are blocking other parties from moving to IPv6. GoDaddy supports this ballot and I would be happy to endorse.
