I did this test on my system(Centos 8.3 X86_64):

[root@...alhost net]# sysctl net.ipv4.conf.lo.accept_local
net.ipv4.conf.lo.accept_local = 0
[root@...alhost net]# ./psock_snd -d
tx: 128
rx: 142
./psock_snd: recv: Resource temporarily unavailable
[root@...alhost net]# sysctl -w net.ipv4.conf.lo.accept_local=1
net.ipv4.conf.lo.accept_local = 1
[root@...alhost net]# ./psock_snd -d
tx: 128
rx: 142
rx: 100
OK

This failure does seem to be related to accept_local.

Also, it's reported on Ubuntu:
