What I find odd is that you said your naive program rejected this...
FWIW, in an up-to-date windows 10 VM the client side fails with:
psql: error: connection to server on socket "@frak/.s.PGSQL.5432" failed: Invalid argument (0x00002726/10022)
Is the server running locally and accepting connections on that socket?
That's with most security things disabled and developer mode turned on.
