When I try to connect, mfe is asking for AAAA record. It gets a response, but the standart kernel is not able to talk ipv6.

Is there a way to prevent mfe to ask for a AAAA and directly ask for a A record (v4)?
I recently started seeing this problem. After spending more time investigating than I care to admit I found a simple workaround (also posted to the bug report). If you set an ipv4 address for your exchange host in the dnsmasq config it will reject the AAAA request with "NODATA-IPv6" which gets us past the bug. So something like (as root):

echo "address=/yourexchangehost.com/123.45.67.8" >> /etc/dnsmasq.conf
With the obvious replacements.

Cheers,
Jan
