It indeed appears to be directly related to bringing up IPv6.. However,
since IPv6 hotspots don't appear to currently being supported (no
iptables code, no parameters passed for it to dnsmasq, etc.; it probably
simply should be ignored in all cases.

Title:
  Creating hotspot leads to endless connect/disconnect loop

Status in “dnsmasq” package in Ubuntu:
  New
Status in “network-manager” package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  - Create Hotspot via "System Settings > Network > Wireless > Hotspot" or manually in the network-manager
  - What I expected:
  * Hotspot is created, clients can use internet connection
  - What happened instead:
  * The new connection connects and disconnects after a second, when "autoconnect" is enabled, this happens very fast in a endless loop.

  I think this error message in the log causes the failure:
  > dnsmasq[5213]: failed to create listening socket for 10.42.43.1: Address already in use
  > dnsmasq[5213]: FAILED to start up
