One thread (caused by the system call) starts the connect attempt, and does the block somewhere later on just before it returns, or for a non blocking connect does what you'd expect and returns with the expected error. Between 2.6 and 2.7 the backend thread was optimised - now it manages to complete the connect before the frontend thread reaches the blocking point. So now non-blocking connects on localhost actually complete without error. (usually) So maybe that warning message is overly scary.
