Oh, duh.  The comments in inet_aton() show that it is interpreting
"10.6" in what most people nowadays would find a surprising way:

        case 1:            /* a -- 32 bits */
        case 2:            /* a.b -- 8.24 bits */
        case 3:            /* a.b.c -- 8.8.16 bits */
        case 4:            /* a.b.c.d -- 8.8.8.8 bits */

ie, it is read as if it were "10.0.0.6" ... hence no match, but also no
syntax error.
