Using the nativ IPv6 connection my servers have in the datacenter I was able to request https://www.facebook.com/ and actually getting a response.

So I think FB doesn’t want to have traffic through (unreliable) 6-to-4 gateways and makes the browser to fallback to IPv4.

Anyhow, just a wild guess…

Just the fact that it returns a redirect means its being hosted over ipv6.
This works:
curl -g -H “Host:www.facebook.com” -H “User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10_7_4) AppleWebKit/536.5 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/19.0.1084.46 Safari/536.5″ “http://[2a03:2880:10:1f02:face:b00c::25]“
