I'll get a screen capture of some kind for you within the next day or

Assuming you meant "show [NAME]" (no "ls" option for the tunnel object),
that yields the following with "gw6c" running on a 3.11.0 kernel:
smirkin:~# ip -6 tunnel show sit1
sit1: any/ipv6 remote 4056:5874:: local 4500:0:0:4000:4029:: encaplimit 0 hoplimit 0 tclass 0x00 flowlabel 0x00000 (flowinfo 0x00000000)
I'm running the gw6c client in gateway mode: the Alpha is my IPv6
gateway/firewall.
