great to hear, you should have contacted us earlier.

Yes, that's an old style of IPv6 encoded IPv4 address.
xy[::ffff:aaa.bbb.ccc.ddd.eee]:ppppp also works fine.

It prints the error message, because this in fact is an invalid IPv6

Most of the requests handled by xrdfs either redirect or use locate
queries and the client goes to a host it is pointed to. It switched to
IPv4 because the server told it to do so.
