I just took a look at the source code 
(epan/dissectors/packet-ssl-utils.c: ssl_parse_key_list) and much to my 
surprise, it doesn't appear to support IPv6 addresses for SSL 
decryption.  Would you mind opening a bug marked as an enhancement 
request on https://bugs.wireshark.org to ask for IPv6 support for SSL 
decryption?

That option defaults to on and is only for IPv6 name resolution.
