It is...

In 0.25 there's only one network configuration system, and that's the
IP address defined to connect to the backend or the address the
backend listen on.

So if it's listening on 127.0.0.1 only, that's also the interface the
frontend will listen on.

I personally disagree that what the frontend listen on should have
anything to do with how the backend is configured.. but that's another
story

So to get around this, make your backend listend to something else
than 127.0.0.1 ; you do so in mythtv-setup -> General
