Comment(by godiard):

 Easier to reproduce with B1 units than C1 (C1 loose the eth0 interface in
 a few minutes).

 This error is in the client side, not the server side, and that part is in
 the Browser activity, not the Wikipedia, because we don't duplicate the
 browser code. A proposed workaround is attached. I don't know why webkit
 can't resolve localhost in this situation, but the proposed patch retry
 with 127.0.0.1
