The problem generally isn't consumer switches, but high-end switches.
There has been at least one report of Juniper switches not bridging
IPv6 by default. (Supposedly fixed with a software upgrade.)

I haven't heard of switches which couldn't be made to forward IPv6
with the right configuration though.
