Yes, likely I do mean this :-)

But it works when opening PuTTY, you say.

Well, we need more traces. Could you, please, set tramp-verbose to at
least 6? Then rerun the test, and maybe we see more interesting
information in the traces. Please show the corresponding buffer "*debug
tramp/plinkx osx*".

Just for curiosity: Does Tramp/plink connection work for you to other
hosts, which are not addressed via IPv6?

Thanks in advance, and best regards, Michael.
