Playing with this some more I have come up with a totally evil testcase.
If I bring lo down, and back up again I cannot talk to local addresses
through the loopback device, that I could before.
Somewhere in route flushing, and route cache something has gone wrong,
making configurations that existed before the loopback interface was
brought down not work after the loopback interface is brought up.
I can fix any this problem by deleting and re-adding the address
but seems wrong, and this does seem related to the loopback case.
A nondad address goes up and down just fine on any interface I
want except on lo. And pinging any local address seems to break
when I bring lo up and down.
