Is this a workable combination? AFAIK the B&M 6 has no voltage-limiting circuitry (the S6 does, but is £80 more) and relies on circuitry in the lamp instead. The B&M lamps have this feature but the E6 doesn't.

You're misinformed: the E6 doesn't have a Zehner diode, but has a sophisticated electronic voltage limiter instead.

So will I blow bulbs at 50mph with an E6?
No, and get a E6 OS (ohne Schalter, without switch) and save some money.
Do you have a mail order address in Germany for the dynamo?
Which was in response to me saying a S6 dynamo was cheaper bought from Germany than bought in the UK, but the formatting was scrambled even by cyclingforums standards....
Anyway - I used www.bicycles.de. They currently list the S6 for 90 euros. They used to have pages in English, but they seem to have disapeared.

I was going to, but the cheapest I could find the OS version was £55 including postage. The CTC shop do the switched one for £60 with free postage, and I might get a SON hub at some point so...
