I think this is a symptom of bug #10801 and isn't your fault at all.
It can happen when you run the unit tests somewhere with a captive
portal that returns an answer for a DNS lookup of "a.b.c.d".

(In fact, I found #10801 thanks to a coffee shop where the unit tests
didn't pass.)

You can safely ignore this test failure in 0.2.5.3-alpha, and try
0.2.5.4-alpha once it comes out.  (Today, I hope!)
