It looks like this will be fixed with the newest version of liblo (not yet packaged), but may need a bit of wrapper code in SPIN. Below is a message from Steve Sinclair describing the same issue in libmapper:
"it will not allow selection of the network interface to use for the
multicast bus, because this was added more recently than the last
liblo release. It's important for Linux because by my observations,
Linux doesn't by default select the "lo" interface if no network
connection is available. This means that when a Linux computer is not
connected to the network, libmapper will appear not to work. There is
special code in libmapper to detect this situation and explicitly
select the loopback interface. (admin.c, function get_interface_addr)
But this relies on the SVN version of liblo."
