If your firewall has a policy of DROP for any traffic that is not explicitly allowed then this rule would not work for any thing other than the first packet.  Try using this instead:

iptables -A INPUT  -i lo  -m state --state NEW,RELATED,ESTABLISHED  -j ACCEPT
iptables -A OUTPUT  -o lo  -m state --state NEW,RELATED,ESTABLISHED  -j ACCEPT

I'm just shooting from the hip here, but that would be my first guess.
