It's possible that when Emacs starts up it uses getaddrinfo to get the hostname, and the IPv6 spec requires that you get your canonical hostname from a nameserver. XEmacs currently disobeys the spec by default because on most networks IPv6 is hardly used even today, and startup delays can be substantial especially if your Internet connection is "on-demand" (as it typically was in the days of POTS and time-metered modem connections, when that decision was made).
