I found something very strange. On the affected system:

1: lo: <LOOPBACK,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 65536 qdisc noqueue state UNKNOWN group 
default qlen 1000
    link/loopback 00:00:00:00:00:00 brd 00:00:00:00:00:00
    inet 127.0.0.1/8 scope host lo
       valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever

So, the loopback interface only has IPv4 on it somehow. Yet, IPv6 is
enabled on the system, and other network interfaces have IPv6 addresses
assigned to them fine.

I rebooted the system and it is now in the state I would have expected,
where loopback has both address families assigned:

1: lo: <LOOPBACK,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 65536 qdisc noqueue state UNKNOWN group 
default qlen 1000
    link/loopback 00:00:00:00:00:00 brd 00:00:00:00:00:00
    inet 127.0.0.1/8 scope host lo
       valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever
    inet6 ::1/128 scope host noprefixroute 
       valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever

However, I do reboot this system regularly, and I have had the resolved
issue for quite some time, so there must be something that happens
during normal system operation that causes the loopback address to be
unassigned. I do not understand what could possibly cause that.
