Ah, that rings a bell.  After a bit of searching I found

https://www.postgresql.org/message-id/flat/16897-2632c6541c9f8491%40postgresql.org

which seems to describe exactly the same symptom.  We never got a
final answer from that person, but I continue to think that Postgres
must have been trying to use GSSAPI authentication, suggesting that
the server is being started in an environment where a GSSAPI server
appears to be available.
