OK, so my first try was right but my interpretation of the error message
wasn't. After some further exploration, the already-running network
service is indeed not the statically configured loopback, but
(dhcp-client-service), which handles all network adapters other than
loopback.

Configuring both of my adapters with static IPs works very well, but
is not practical for a laptop used in different networks. Back to
rethinking my deployment strategy...
