Even though this might have seemed like a stupid question, it put me onto the right track. Apparently, mca_btl_tcp_endpoint_accept (or similar) is unable to handle multiple IP addresses on the same interface, and rejects the connection. Changing the network topology to only have one address on each physical network adapter resolves the problem, and connections are made properly.
