Not necessarily: if nsswitch.conf goes to DNS first you might resolve
"localhost" to an AAAA record for ::1 (or alternate between IP4 and IP6,
which might explain what you're seeing).

I don't think that should be necessary: the system should return the
sockets of the same AF when asked for the same thing (but glancing
briefly at the code, sshd just passes a NULL address to getaddrinfo, so
unless libc does a lookup for "localhost" I'm not sure what's really
going on here.)

Good judgement comes with experience. Unfortunately, the experience
usually comes from bad judgement.
