Thanks for forwarding the report. I can reproduce the problem and I
have a fix ready. It's not just pools, it impacts all sources loaded
from a sourcedir not specified by IP address (i.e. those that start
as "unresolved").

The patch will apply cleanly to 4.6(.1) if you would like to add it to
the downstream package. I just need to add a proper test of the
sourcedir directive with runtime changes so a bug like this doesn't
happen again (it requires some improvements in the testing framework
to be able to modify the file during test).
