(1) Instead of $sender_host_address, write

${mask:$sender_host_address/128}

and then instead of 2001:838:37f::209:6bff:fe27:7db2 write

2001.0838.037f.0000.0209.6bff.fe27.7db2/128

and this test should then work. (The dots occur because ${mask: is
designed for canonicizing IPv6 addresses for use in lookups, and colon
is the key terminator in lsearch lookups.)

(2) However, I do agree that IPv6 addresses that are supplied to -bh or
-bhc should be canonicized. In the next release, they will always be
expanded to their full form before being put in text form in
$sender_host_address.
