Sure, binding to an address is valid. If you don't specify an address, for security reasons all services bind to localhost, which is pretty useless for a production system.
BTW, setting -Djboss.bind.address with the same value is redundant if you use -b. Have you tried this solution discussed on the JIRA you linked?
