Well, I do not have multiple aliases on lo0 (I assume you meant lo0 and not
127.0.0.1 here) so I had not encountered this when creating the port for
5.20.

Also, it looks like the test says it can fail because of strange
networking.  Have you tried reporting this upstream ?

As a side note, your netmask is wrong, which may be why the test fails,
127/8 is the network, not 127/24.
