Srdja,
Interesting problem... From you've mentioned I think you already have
the answer... 6to4 tunnels require that they start with a 2002::/16
address with the IPv4 address embedded in the suffix (so it can
determing the IPv4 tunnel destination). With RIPng multicasting it's
updates out to neighbors this won't automatically create the tunnels.

Something to try would be to see if RIPng supports unicast
advertisements (similar to the neighbor statement in EIGRP or RIP for
IPv4).

From my experience, all the 6to4 examples I've seen use static routing
for the 2002::/16 address space out the tunnel interface.
