That is because MPD 0.13 resolves the name "localhost", and gets two
responses (probably 127.0.0.1 and ::1), but it only uses the first
one.  ncmpc/mpc in turn may use only the other address...

You can also work around this by specifying the IPv4 address.

This is fixed in the upcoming 0.14 release (pre-releases in Debian
experimental, testers welcome).  ncmpc 0.12 (to be released this week)
contains the same fix on the client side.
