This seems to be confirmed as due to a need to set some socket-related 
preprocessor symbols. I now have the following at line 520 of 
"omniORB4:CORBA_sysdep_trad.h"

#elif defined(__darwin__)
#  define HAVE_STRTOUQ 1
#  define OMNI_SOCKNAME_SIZE_T socklen_t
#  define HAVE_STRUCT_SOCKADDR_IN_SIN_ZERO 1
#  define HAVE_STRUCT_SOCKADDR_IN_SIN_LEN 1

It's the SOCKADDR ones that are new for this issue.

I don't know whether this problem is specific to our particular build on 
Mac OS X, or whether it affects all Mac OS X. We have disabled IPv6 via 
compilation option. We have also built Universal Binary, via our own 
"*.mk" file; we do not use "configure" on this platform.
