Yes.

But I've now tried reproducing this on a different machine with 24.4.1
(since the one I experienced the problem on is now a production server
:-)) and any combination of setting up bad routing tables, on the
machine itself and on the router, doesn't manage to trigger the
problem...

This is all so odd.  I guess I have to make precise notes on what the
state of the networking is the next time I see this thing so that I can
test the same thing on a newer Emacs...
