It turns out that the netplan configuration did assign the additional
loopback address to lo, but ifconfig couldn't display it, which was
misleading me. When I manually ran ifconfig lo:0 12.34.56.78 netmask
255.255.255.255 it displayed lo:0 just fine. But netplan assigned the
address to lo, not lo:0. Running ip addr revealed the additional IP
address on lo. Problem solved :-)
