A few days ago i ran into the bug reported the first time in 
https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=131876 some 8 year 
ago. The bug is still open, but I doubt that Robert Watson statement 
from 8 year ago that he just spend some time in the UNIX domain socket 
code is still accurate. Depending on his mail setup there is a good 
chance the mail got sorted in the 8 year old thread.

Is there someone familiar with the file descriptor passing code in the 
kernel willing to look at the bug report?
