FWIW: under 0.86.x (pretty sure, certainly 0.84.x) I could test local (gabble) 
in F11 using sugar-jhbuild by launching two instances of sugar using the 
SUGAR_PROFILE=..... environment variable.

I've just tried to retest this now that my F11 environment is running the 
latest Sugar 0.87.x and it will only launch one (the first) instance. 
Additional invocations for other SUGAR_PROFILE=.... values just hang with no 
console output unless you first kill the previous process (so not much use for 
testing collaboration anymore).

  SUGAR_PROFILE=1 ./sugar-jhbuild run sugar-emulator & <---- pops up file
  SUGAR_PROFILE=2 ./sugar-jhbuild run sugar-emulator & <---- have to kill above 
process before it appears

Any one else seeing this? I can open a ticket if someone tells me which logs 
would be of use for debugging this.

Regards,
--Gary
