I am in the process of creating the appropriate patches for Quagga and
it is less difficult that I thought. It is possible to plug the
difference between IPv4 and IPv6 for multipath routes right into the
difference between IPv4 single hop and IPv4 multi hop routes that are
also handled differently.

I am still thinking that the approach is confusing for the userland but
it is not really cumbersome from the implementor point of view and it
has also some advantages.
