Comment (by markoheijnen):

 What benjamin4 is seeing can be totally fine. You can specify a different
 default host in php.ini for MySQL and MySQLi. And if you only changed one
 then you can experience this weirdness.

 I would say that it is a configuration mistake by the user since when
 using a socket connection you should never trust the default setting and
 always specify the location yourself.
