The primary disruption is to vandalism watchers and recent changes patrollers.
The abuse filter can be modified to hardcode an exception for 127.0.0.1, but
there are still less intrusive mechanisms triggered by it. For example, the
CVNBot reports actions by all anonymous users and these bogus actions clutter
up the already very full feed of our dear already overloaded patroller teams.

I'd say the sooner the better, all these things are distracting and just add
that extra bit of annoyance that can be demotivating to the user experience.
