Someone just said something about xdm not seeing localhost in 2.1.x
but I've just deleted the message :-( (my subconscious is saying hpa?)

Anyway the problem is that BROADCAST is set for the lo interface
in 2.0 but not in 2.1. Xdm/chooser uses broadcasts as part of its
who will manage me protocol. Since lo is not a broadcast interface
xdm and chooser can not talk to each other across it.
