Where are these "Client-IP-Address = 127.0.0.1" messages coming from?

I'm getting accounting messages like these that seem to be coming from
the loopback interface, but `tcpdump -i lo` doesn't see them so they are
not coming from a local client.  If they are not coming from a local
client then how can I figure out where they are coming from?
