well, and what about using simple utilities, e.g. ipv6calc not to make a
mistake? you can find it in pkgsrc as net/ipv6calc.  it is as easy as
type:

 ~> ipv6calc -r 3ffe:80e8:200::1
 1.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.2.0.8.e.0.8.e.f.f.3.ip6.int

i hope this helps you to decrease your failure rate to near-zero value ;)
