No, it shouldn't, because that is associated with the creation of the
Unix socket file, which happens after creation of the TCP socket.
Given that you're seeing a kernel error on attempt to create the TCP
socket, I'm convinced that you're wasting your time thinking about
Postgres-internal conditions. This is a kernel-level issue and you
need to be inquiring into what state the kernel is in that is making
it reject the bind().
