Without seeing the rest of your iptables rules, it's not clear whether this 
really does apply to every interface and every protocol, or whether there are 
exception rules which over-ride this default policy rule.

However, there are quite a number of applications which will refuse to start, 
or not operate correctly, if you do not permit loopback traffic (IPv4 as well as 
IPv6), so this may be the cause of your problems.
