Defect/Enhancement Number
Cause
Resolution By separating out the client side configuration from the locator service, using scoping it is possible to configure this as:
WSDL_PATH="../../../wsdl";
LOCATOR_PORT="43210";
LOCATOR_HOST="thehost";
bus:initial_contract:url:locator = "http://%{LOCATOR_HOST}:%{LOCATOR_PORT}/services/LocatorService";

 

 

entity
{
    locator_client
    {
       orb_plugins = ["local_log_stream","soap", "http", "at_http"];
    };
    locator_server
    {
      orb_plugins = ["local_log_stream", "soap", "http", "at_http", "locator_endpoint"];
    };
    locator_service
    {
       # explicitly specify the host name that the server listens on
       policies:http:server_address_mode_policy:local_hostname = "%{LOCATOR_HOST}";
       # specifies the server hostname that is published in contracts
       policies:soap:server_address_mode_policy:local_hostname = "%{LOCATOR_HOST}";
       bus:initial_contract:url:locator="%{WSDL_PATH}/locator.wsdl";
       orb_plugins = ["local_log_stream", "iiop_profile", "giop", "iiop", "soap", "http", "wsdl_publish", "service_locator"];
    };
};

Note the locator should be started in the entity.locator_service scope and the client in the entity.locator_client scope
