Richard and I iterated more off list:
Short version: the correct "exclude" form for Richard is:
--mca btl_tcp_if_exclude virbr0,lo
More detail: I totally forgot that while OMPI excludes loopback devices by
default, if you override the value of btl_tcp_if_exclude, if you still want
loopback to be skipped (and you most likely do), you need to include loopback
in your new value. Hence, just excluding virbr0 isn't sufficient (because that
then *includes* the loopback devices). Instead, you need to exclude *both*
virbr0 and lo. Then all works as expected.
Sorry for the runaround! I'm going to blame it on jet lag. :-)
