Some further information on identifying this issue.
On doing a netstat on the kodi server you can see that the port is only LISTENING locally (or not at all if remote control is off even for this system):
redacted@redacted:~$ netstat -nlut | grep :9090
tcp 0 0 127.0.0.1:9090 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN
tcp6 0 0 ::1:9090 :::* LISTEN
But after enabling settings→services→control→Allow remote control from applications on other systems, the LISTEN port shows open to all:
redacted@redacted:~$ netstat -nlut | grep :9090
tcp 0 0 0.0.0.0:9090 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN
tcp6 0 0 :::9090 :::* LISTEN
