Hmm, we don't see any dropped packet at interface ( loopback ) level here:

$ cat /proc/net/softnet_stat
002a0c14 00000000 00000000 00000000 00000000 00000000 00000000 00000000 00000000

$ ifconfig
lo Link encap:Local Loopback
inet addr:127.0.0.1 Mask:255.0.0.0
UP LOOPBACK RUNNING MTU:16436 Metric:1
RX packets:1349417 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0
TX packets:1349417 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0
