They do network communication and perhaps they even are trying to do some dns lookups if /etc/hosts is not set up properly to resolve the machine's hostname. But they should communicate only on the machine itself. Being a no-no means that we shouldn't be running them? They are very useful for for example finding bugs in compiler.
/etc/hosts has an entry for localhost, but it seems your test is trying to hit what is in /etc/resolv.conf which is a bogus IP. Perhaps your test is getting a hostname of the builder and trying to look that up?
If we are talking about DNS problems (and when I add yesterday "cvs renumbering" problem or what it was) I think it would be good have DNS server in build system and builders will ask to them instead using /etc/hosts file.
