I wonder why it did work in the past, though then.

Maybe open an issue with Sun? ;) (just kidding)
I do not know how to remedy this best,
we should take up a hint in the documentation somehow and best
would be if the openpkg building script would find the problem
and build a variant not using domain sockets.

I am no expert, but my guess is that sockets will be technically better
so it should be kept for operating systems where they work.
