Consider that Windows XP (and server 2k3) will not,
under any circumstance, send a DNS request over IPv6,
and yet they were widely considered "IPv6 compliant."
Consider also how long it took to get a working way of
telling autoconfigured hosts about which DNS servers
to use (without manually entering 128-bit addresses).
To me, the above show that the bulk of the actual
deployments were in dual-stack or tunnel environments,
and greenfield implementations were few and far
between. There's a surprising amount of unexplored
"here be dragons" territory in IPv6, given how long
some very smart people have been working on it.
