You might be thinking of someone doing some sort of failed IPv6 to IPv4 tunneling or NATing which is not native IPv6. I have never seen someone "automatically" fall back to IPv4 if they are using IPv6 natively. You would be rather shocked to see DNS queries request AAAA records for your zones if you paid attention to it.
You're correct about pure IPv6 ... no delays, no problems.

However, many people have lousy home routers, that while claiming to support IPv6, don't always do so in the way one would expect. And that's not the only issue either.
