Unless I did this query wrong, you are absolutely right:
;. IN NS
A.ROOT-SERVERS.NET. 3600000 IN A 198.41.0.4
B.ROOT-SERVERS.NET. 3600000 IN A 192.228.79.201
C.ROOT-SERVERS.NET. 3600000 IN A 192.33.4.12
D.ROOT-SERVERS.NET. 3600000 IN A 128.8.10.90
E.ROOT-SERVERS.NET. 3600000 IN A 192.203.230.10

I don't see any v6 glue there... Rather than having conversations
about transition to IPv6, maybe we should be sure it works natively
first? It's rather ironic to think that for v6 DNS to work an
incumbent legacy protocol is still required. The GTLD's appear to
have somewhat better v6 services than root:
A.GTLD-SERVERS.NET. 172800 IN AAAA 2001:503:a83e::2:30
B.GTLD-SERVERS.NET. 172800 IN AAAA 2001:503:231d::2:30
I'm pretty disappointed now,
