And.. do you consider to get this into the root-servers.net zone itself? I suppose it would then actually get picked up as a glue and upset conservative parties? (but it might make the root v6-reachable - except at bootstrap).
Definitely. And not only in the root-servers.net but also in the hints file and in the root zone itself. And not only for K, but for all other root servers that have IPv6 transport enabled. But as we know it's more complex than just updating relevant files. This requires careful consideration of possible technical issues, so that RSSAC can provide clear recommendations to IANA. As far as I know this work in underway.
And finally, why is it that k.root-servers.net and k.root-servers.org has different IPv4-addresses?
The first one is the server itself, the second is the website containing information about K.
