*sighs*
It still looks like a kernel/libc bug to me: AFAICT, both the code and
the tests are correct.
And apparently, there are still issues pertaining to FD passing on
10.5 (and maybe later, I couldn't find a public access to their bug
tracker):

Anyway, if someone with a recent OS X release could run test_socket,
it would probably help. Follow ups to http://bugs.python.org/issue6560
