Yeah, I can confirm that fakechroot's getpeername() is the problem.
If I remove getpeername from fakechroot [1], then I get a fakechroot
that works with your test [2].  Obviously we need to instead sort out
the parameters to match the system getpeername like rsync does.  Not
really my area of expertise, but I can file a bug in RH bugzilla for
fakechroot when I get back.  Got to run, now.
