Hmmm... I think you misunderstand the reasoning behind the INO4 flag. It is not meant (although it /may/ probably be used for that) to let mailers connect via IPv6 only. IPv6 capable mailetrs will not have to be told explicitly to connect only via IPv6 when only an IPv6 address is available. They will do that all by themselves.
No, it is different. Strictly speaking -the INO4 flag is about IPv4. It means that the node in question does NOT have incoming IPv4 capability. It so happens that this implies IPv6 only, but that is only because presently we only have IPv4 and IPv6. That may change with te coming of IPv7...
Anyway, the main idea behind the INO4 flag is to prevent mailers from fruitlessly trying to connect via an IPv4 only connection.
With intermail for example I could use:
Hold INO4, !CM, 300
To tell it to put mail on hold for nodes carrying the INO4 flag, not carrying the CM flag and a maximum speed of 300. InterMail knows nothing about IPv4 or IPv6 but it can be told to recognise the INO4 flag and act upon it.
Or I could tell it the following.
Host-Route INO4.
I think that speaks for itself.

You are only looking at IPv6 capable mailers in your considerations. But what about Netmail routers/trackers and other software? Netmail routers do not know about IPv6, They do not recognsies IPv6 addresess. But they can be trained to act on the INO4 flag. I already menationed "Host-Route INO4". That actaully is a router directive, not a mailer directive.
OT-Ttrack can act on nodelist flags. From the doc:
