Yes, it's a known problem, however we did not get any further on this 
topic, yet.

We have a PR which was filed some time ago ports/156889 which describes 
a similar problem.

What i do know is that i can easily provoke it by going to 
http://localhost:$port where $port is some random port where nothing 
listens.

Adriy, I'm very happy that someone with kernel knowledge got interested 
in this ;)

Thanks,
Florian

P.S. I doubt it is fixed in 6.0.1
