It is no timeout - for your system configuration it is just an invalid
address.
The request isn't send at all, so how can it timeout?

The message is not from bind and it is correct.
The IPv4 address is correcty translated into IPv6 address space, but
the kernel has no ipv6_ipv4mapping enabled so it correclt refuses
sending data to the embedded IPv4 address via IPv6 socket with an
"Invalid argument".
