Oy. The problem was user braindamage: At some point I'd switched over to
using the short form of the --server option (-s), but forgot to remove the
"=", so was issuing cmds like this

	$ pactl -s=hostA

Evidently "=hostA" is not flagged as an invalid host specifier.  (Still 100%
my fault for the stupid mistake, just sayin...)

Apologies for wasting your time.
