I can not recreate the problem on GNU/Linux with either tip or Go 1.4.

Can anybody else recreate it on OS X?

exact same issue which is already closed

Not true.

conn, err := net.Dial("ip4:1", UNREACHABLE_HOST)

Please revisit what you are trying to do for which protocol and its transport characteristic.

PS: If you need a bit handy ICMP stuff, see http://godoc.org/golang.org/x/net/icmp.
PPS: ICMP is pretty raw stuff, specifying destination address on transmission/source address on reception by connect syscall via Dial API is insufficient to control message exchange.
PPPS: #8276 is epoll, mostly Linux-specific issue. It never happens on platforms using another mech. such as kqueue, IOCP and event port.
