I posted this patch in the bug report but possibly it is easier to continue
here. The patch fixes the issue for me, but I'm not sure I managed to repeat
the problem the same way on Linux.

What I did to repeat the problem:

  1 - build with the stock resolver

  2 - have localhost for ::1, fe80::1 and 127.0.0.1 in /etc/hosts so that there
      are two IPv6 and one IPv4 address

  3 - run "curl localhost:9999" (no server on that port, all connects fail)

Fabian responded in the bug report saying my patch _didn't_ fix the problem
for him but we haven't work out why it doesn't but it would then of course
indicate that the Mac problem is not identical to the problem I could repeat.
