Finally resolved
I finally worked out what this was about. There was a piece of software (Computertime, a parental control thing) that injected itself into the TCP stack as a proxy. Somehow that disrupted Minion's ability to bind to that port. The problem wasn't universal, but is more than Minion - other Java-based programs were often unable to open ports on localhost as well, though everything else did fine.
Anyway, I uninstalled that software, rebuilt my TCP stack, and all is well now.
Just thought I'd let you know!
