Comment (by arma):

 My guess is that we defer opening the unix domain socket here, and then we
 never call retry_all_listeners() again from config.c because our config
 hasn't changed.

 There's a call to retry_all_listeners() in main.c, in this thing called
 retry_listeners_callback(), except it runs
 {{{
   if (!net_is_disabled()) {
     retry_all_listeners(NULL, NULL, 0);
 }}}
 so when net_is_disabled, it just never calls retry_all_listeners again.
