I guess this is on purpose as IPv6 has very long IP and hostnames
should be used when possible, also, it does not show the hostname you
typed but the resolved RDNS of the IP as in:
jerome@...ileCPU ~ $ ping6 www.google.ca
PING www.google.ca(iad04s01-in-x63.1e100.net) 56 data bytes
64 bytes from iad04s01-in-x63.1e100.net: icmp_seq=1 ttl=55 time=57.7 ms
