This is exactly what I am seeing here. However contrary to your case the
patch makes it even worse on my side. With the patch compiled in and a
pg_hba.conf entry of "localhost", I cannot connect anymore to "-h
localhost", I get "no pg_hba.conf entry for host ::1".

This is mostly standard Ubuntu setup.
