This is probably getnameinfo() not supporting AF_UNIX, which I
already was afraid of.  And the return value of getnameinfo()
isn't checked either.

My suggestion was to make our own getnameinfo_unix() like we have
a getaddrinfo_unix() for exactly the same reason.

It should be rather easy to write since we already have a
getnameinfo() in it that supports it.
