I don't mind seeing IPv6.  (Though like I said there are no IPv6 addresses
for any interfaces.)  That it binds to any address is more a security
issue.  It is firewalled, but I really don't want it bound to all
interfaces... there is no need.

I've tried only putting in
Listen 127.0.0.0.1:631
by itself, or in combination with
Listen my_ip_address:631

Neither changes to what interfaces it binds to.
