I don't believe so. This happens on my Fedora 18 system, my Debian box with 
Python 2.6.6, on Fedora 19 
(https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=987340), another Debian system 
(http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=591471) and python compiled 
from the default branch does the same thing.

The documentation for imaplib.IMAP4 says:
"If host is not specified, '' (the local host) is used."

My point is that imaplib.IMAP4 without any arguments should try to connect to 
localhost, however this is not what is currently happening, at least on the 
systems mentioned above. Why I think this is happening I've tried to explain in 
my previous comment.

>Do any of the impalib tests fail?
Nope.
