Is it common for mobile networks to hand out short (64 or smaller) prefixes to phones? Phones are routers after all (hotspot) so this would seem to break stuff.

Multiple phones will use addresses with same prefix. This makes it hard to apply targetted limits to an IP. This is why mobile IPv6 proxies are valuable.
