If ":family 'ipv4" works and ":family nil" does not, that surely means
that Emacs is chosing ipv6. Does server.el work with the attached
patch?

I don't know whether that means that your system is set up only for
ipv6, or that it has both ipv6 and ipv4 and make-network-process is
selecting ipv6 for `localhost'. In any case, server.el / emacsclient.c
are not adapted to ipv6, so forcing ipv4 seems right for the moment
being.

That is another bug. I'm closing this one.

I suggest either commiting your fix, if appropriate, or filing a new
bug report with your patch so it can be discussed.
