I wonder if that's because it's generally concerned about
uninitialized variables, or because it's noticed the apparent bug in
scm_c_make_socket_address, which does nothing with its address_size
parameter and instead has another size_t variable on the stack.

Can you try changing scm_c_make_socket_address to this:

{
  struct sockaddr *soka;

  soka = scm_fill_sockaddr (scm_to_ushort (family), address, &args, 1,
                            "scm_c_make_socket_address", &address_size);

  return soka;
}

and report whether that solves the problem?

Yes please.
