I actually was able to reproduce it under strace a couple of times, but
didn't find anything more than debug2 log could have told me. As far as I
understand it, CUPS parent process says that child process didn't provide
authentication details, and closes the socket. Maybe it doesn't apply
authentication properly over file socket, I don't know.

So I do not think, the socket *causes* it, but it triggers the problem.
