Seems to work fine on Precise. Closing the bug.

Title:
  Does not configure ipv6 address if "inet" is before "inet6"

Status in “ifupdown” package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: ifupdown

  This /etc/network/interfaces does not configure the static ipv6
  address on bootup (only the link-local):

  auto lo eth0
  iface lo inet loopback
  iface eth0 inet static
    address 130.239.18.226
    netmask 255.255.255.128
    broadcast 130.239.18.255
    gateway 130.239.18.129
  iface eth0 inet6 static
    address 2001:6b0:e:2018::226
    netmask 64

  But this one works:

  auto lo eth0
  iface lo inet loopback
  iface eth0 inet6 static
    address 2001:6b0:e:2018::226
    netmask 64
  iface eth0 inet static
    address 130.239.18.226
    netmask 255.255.255.128
    broadcast 130.239.18.255
    gateway 130.239.18.129

  There is no mention of such a limitation in the manual for
  interfaces(5) and is rather confusing since there is no error mention,
  it just comes up without 2001:6b0:e:2018::226 for eth0.
