That sounds reasonable.  However, on my box that has an IPv6 address configured 
on lo, I get the same result with or without that flag:

lo        Link encap:Local Loopback  
          inet addr:127.0.0.1  Mask:255.0.0.0
          inet6 addr: ::1/128 Scope:Host
          UP LOOPBACK RUNNING  MTU:16436  Metric:1
          RX packets:48000 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0
          TX packets:48000 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0
          collisions:0 txqueuelen:0 
          RX bytes:3991442 (3.8 MiB)  TX bytes:3991442 (3.8 MiB)
