I cannot reproduce your problems here on recent master.  Try to strip 
down the dev-tools/test-bugzilla-files.py side as much as possible to 
see why it fails to connect.

Some more notes:

* Never start soffice.bin directly, always use soffice instead.

* At least in current gerrit.libreoffice.org/dev-tools there is no 
dev-tools/test-bugzilla-files.py, but only non-executable 
dev-tools/test-bugzilla-files/test-bugzilla-files.py that you need to 
run as "/usr/local/src/libreoffice/instdir/program/python 
dev-tools/test-bugzilla-files/test-bugzilla-files.py ..."
