IPv6 address discovery is the main pittfall.

Since tor 0.4.4.x series, I write the IPv4 and IPv6 addresses _everywhere_ in 
the config with the ports. (Address, OutboundBindAddress, ORPort)
I don't have any IPv4 only relays, try using:
ORPort <privat.IPv4.address>:9001 NoAdvertise
I'm not sure if that is also possible:
ORPort 9001 NoAdvertise,IPv4Only

   ^^^^^^^^^
ORPort <privat.IPv4>:9001 NoAdvertise
> ORPort xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:9001 NoListen (static public ip)

For dual stack you have to do it for IPv4 and IPv6.

By default, no netfilter / iptables are created on a Debian system for IPv4 and 
IPv6. That means everything is open and forwarding is disabled.
