It's a problem with kqueue and the way Prosody starts. Prosody initializes its networking before it loads any modules. The code that daemonizes is in mod_posix, so it runs after networking has been initialized. Unfortunately when daemonizing, kqueue doesn't carry its state across to the new process. The workaround for this on the Prosody side would be to daemonize before doing absolutely anything else. It sort of makes sense, even if we lose a bit of flexibility, so I'm considering this for a future version. I don't know if there is anything that can be done in libevent to work around this, I haven't checked since originally investigating the issue. Other backends (e.g. epoll) work fine.
