Are these connection attempts made from some sort of test framework, 
that starts rabbit, connects, runs a test, stops rabbit, etc?

I am asking because...

...this shows a connection getting accepted immediately as the broker 
comes up.

So I suspect what's happening is that the failed connection attempts 
occur during the broker startup phase, which suggests your test code, or 
whatever it is, doesn't wait for the broker to fully start before 
attempting to connect.

Unfortunately, afaik, there is no easy way on Windows to wait for the 
broker to start. So you may just have to retry the connection attempts 
until they succeed.

You can upgrade the server w/o upgrading the clients. And vice versa.
