No problem, better some reply after some time rather than none :)

Ok, so it's really about xbrlapi trying to connect to brltty but not
realizing that it's not there.

Uh. Could you try to install strace and use

so we get to know exactly what it tries to do when trying to connect to
brltty? Normally we would get something like
connect(3, {sa_family=AF_INET, sin_port=htons(4101),
sin_addr=inet_addr("127.0.0.1")}, 16) = -1 ECONNREFUSED (Connexion refusée)
Do you perhaps have a daemon listening on port 4101? (there's really not
supposed to be any, it's a port reserved at Iana)

Yes, that is expected. And normally xbrlapi without brltty is harmless.
Thanks,
