No, they're different errors.  It's almost certainly that your IPv6 setup
is incomplete.  If you attempt to make a connection to "localhost", it'll
first try the IPv4 address, 127.0.0.1, and get a connection refused error
because nothing's listening on the port, so it falls back to the IPv6
loopback address, ::1, and get the network unreachable, and errors out with
that.

If you have IPv6 fully set up, then you should get "Connection refused" on
both, and you won't see this diff.  I just did this on my laptop manually
by running

    route add -inet6 ::1 ::1
    ifconfig lo0 inet6 up

but that's cause I noticed there wasn't a route for ::1, and that lo0 for
IPv6 wasn't up.  YMMV.

Alternatively, you should be able to disable ::1 by removing that line from
/etc/hosts.

Yeah, I don't know what the right answer here is.  My guess is it's a
busted system setup, and to require the end-user to get that right, even
though such bustage is very common, and it's not clear what's actually
going on.
