Per my understanding, it is not required to have ipv6 address in loopback
intf on all P routers inorder to have 6PE work. If I remember it correctly, P
router will use ::FFFF::<ipv4-addr> while originating ICMPv6 error message.

How the heck is that supposed to work in an all-IPv6 network where you don't
*have* an ipv4-addr? Plus, as Owen noted, leaking those on the wire is
considered bad form.
