It's a travesty!

So, I had configured hysteresis (see lab 3.0) with JUNOS for awhile, and decided to boot into JUNOS-ES to see if I could replicate the same configuration.  Unfortunately, everything but IPv6 worked properly.

Apparently, JUNOS-ES doesn't support IPv6 in flow context, and requires the use of the following command (under the security hierarchy) to force IPv6 to be processed in a packet-by-packet fashion:

forwarding-options {
    family {
        inet6 {
            mode packet-based;
        }
    }
}

Pathetic.  Just yet another product that claims IPv6 support, yet doesn't completely follow through with protocol feature parity.
