We might be able to learn something if you strace the postmaster while it's trying to start up with "localhost" as the setting. There will be a lot of output, so send it to a file. Look for the bind() calls --- on my Linux box the relevant part of the trace looks like this:
I did an "strace -o strace.txt /etc/init.d/postgresql-8.4 start" *, but the only "socket" that was in it was in the error message. I modified /usr/share/postgresql-common/init.d-functions to add strace to the pg_ctlcluster call **, and there are lots of references to "socket", but it doesn't look like it's having much success.
