I think the IPv6 _is_ bugging you.  Actually, I think that SSH is only
forwarding IPv4 ports for you.  Thus the 127.0.0.1 suggestion.  But I've
been wrong before, and it'll probably happen again someday...

Run tcpdump or some other network sniffer on your local connection and
verify that that's really what's happening.  And you might also want to
verify that the system to which you're connected via SSH is allowed to
connect to your ISP's POP server.
