Can you actually control whether the postmaster is listening by
modifying pg_hba.conf? I don't think so.
I think I was the one who talked us into assuming that ipv4 and ipv6
should be treated as a single protocol. But some people have since made
pretty good cases that it's better to regard them as separate protocols.
Perhaps we should rethink that decision.
