Comment:

 This is occurring because the X-Forwarded-For header contains an ipv6
 address, and the currently deployed BridgeDB does not expect or understand
 IPv6 addresses.

 The patch(es) to fix this lives in my bridgedb repository, in the
 4297-ipv6-bridges-* branches.

 is_valid_ip() is extended,, as well as the area mapper for ipv6 clients
 (see Dist.py uniformMap()).
