Okay, I didn't see the band-aid, but I didn't look very hard.

I went to confirm the cause, did a merge with v1.7.4-rc0~102 (106e3afa6f) and did not see the "addinfo_cache failed" message. But now here's the strange part, I then switched back to master (11bc3e92bf), tried the merge again, and I'm still not seeing the "addinfo_cache failed" message.

So now I'm trying to figure out what v1.7.4-rc0~102 altered about the state of my repo that I'm no longer seeing the message.

Hmfph.
