I must admit, it does seem a little odd to issue two documents, one fixing a
protocol that you're about to declare obsolete with the other...

Not so odd. There are hundreds of millions of hosts out there that attempt
to use 6to4 by default, and (probably) thousands of relay routers that
attempt to support such users. Those boxes will be around for years, and are
the target for the -advisory draft, regardless of the deprecation.
