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?
Yes, it doesn't connect over localhost but over the machine hostname. Either in the buildroots the hostname should be set to localhost or the /etc/hosts in the buildroot should have an entry for the machine's hostname as 127.0.0.1.
