I think this problem should be solved in Privoxy and not in Torbutton:
"localhost" should mean both 127.0.0.1 and ::1 on a dual-stack system if
the application support both IPv4 and IPv6.  Or at least, that is the
behaviour system administrators have learned to expect, as it is the one
followed by most daemons (e.g. OpenSSH).
