Is this a configuration error, or a real issue?

N/A

The ::1 address is the IPv6 loopback address and is not a link-local address.
The test shouldn't have used it. There seems to be a glitch specific to linux-amd64 which makes isLinkLocalAddress() return true when it shouldn't.
This requires more investigating, but shouldn't be seen as a regression.

That error has not been reproduced since.
Closing.
