Ah, but is it coded to disallow the entire 127.0.0.0/8 address range that is localhost? 
Try some of the other 2^24 (-3) addresses on lo if there is any chance they don't special case the entire range.

 You could try with some other IP (like 127.0.0.2), but you will need to change the iptables configuration first, because by default, the firewall will reject such packets.
