Forgot to mention the loopback address is properly configured on my box:

$ ifconfig lo
lo        Link encap:Local Loopback
          inet addr:127.0.0.1  Mask:255.0.0.0
          UP LOOPBACK RUNNING  MTU:16436  Metric:1
          RX packets:139234 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0
          TX packets:139234 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0
          collisions:0 txqueuelen:0
          RX bytes:6975042 (6.9 MB)  TX bytes:6975042 (6.9 MB)
I found some links on Google related to the "Failed to allocate
internet-domain X11 display socket" error on Solaris machines and they
were all related to missing IP configuration on the loopbak interface.
So clearly this is not the cause here...
