I saw that too, but I don't think it's the primary problem. The server is
listening on ::1 as we know from the log, and quite evidently psql is trying
to connect to that too. This output also looked this way before the failures.

pg_regress outputs the above message when neither PGHOST, PGPORT or
--host/--port are set. On windows that nevertheless ends up with connecting to
localhost.
