But Snow Leopard, where these failures occur, is OS X 10.6.

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): http://lists.apple.com/archives/Darwin-dev/2008/Feb/msg00033.html

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
