> An update on this, in case anyone’s wondering.   It turns out that PCP does have an anycast address allocated, as do a few other protocols.   There is no explicitly designated anycast prefix, and the anycast address is just a regular global IPv6 address with no scoping rules.   It appears to be the case that the prefix 2001::1//64 has been used for this.

Correction: 2001:1://64 (or possibly narrower, but I hope not).
