There is a difference between 'localhost' and the empty string. 'localhost' translates into 127.0.0.1 and is sent using the internet. The empty string means to use local sockets for communication. At least with PostgreSQL. (It might be different with MySQL.)
In short, this is not a bug. Please don't treat it as such, and learn the connection settings of your database.
