Yep, see below:
[root@odin /root]# traceroute6 www.ipv6.bt.com
traceroute to www.ipv6.bt.com (2001:618:5:20:2c0:4fff:fe43:8e6c) from

The packet-loss in hops 1 to 5 seams to be 'normal', I get in in all
'traceroute6's I do and a ping6 to the IP-address of hop5 shows no
packet-loss.
Althou, oddly enough, I get respondse-time which are much larger than the 
one I get using traceroute: between 200 and 240 ms.
(see below)
