Yeah, sure looks that way.

Interesting, though it doesn't offer any very clear theory for what's
going on here.

The only theory I've got at this point is that somehow the address
matching code is failing to match the incoming connection to the spec
"127.0.0.1/32", perhaps because the platform's libc is filling in the
sockaddr struct weirdly. check_ip() and pg_range_sockaddr() would be
the things to look at if you care to try to trace through the code.
You could also experiment, for instance does 0.0.0.0/0 successfully
match?
