5.2.7 added support for getaddrinfo and as it seems that finds
a lot more addresses then good old gethostbyname.

You might be bitten by 

http://bugs.bacula.org/view.php?id=1897

which states ipv6 but is a problem that getaddrinfo finds multiple the
same addresses for your host and as such all daemons try to listen
multiple times on the same port. Which of course is kind of lame.

Simple test is to change the config.h autogenerated by configure and
change the HAVE_GET_ADDRINFO to undefined and then get the old gethostbyname.

Or wait for a patch that I'm working on.

What is kind of interesting is running any daemon with -d 100 to see
what addresses it want to bind to.

It could also bee something else then a bug report should be made
with some debugging info.
