I just reproduced the issue.

Immediate Workaround:
Get rid of NEGOTIATOR_HOST altogether from your condor config file(s), 
and condor_userprio will work.  You can do this by either removing 
NEGOTIATOR_HOST from your condor_config file(s) or by having a line
  NEGOTIATOR_HOST =

I'll get a patch in the code for this into the next stable release. You 
can follow progress or comment here

It looks like there is a bug relating to some (well intentioned but 
failing) backwards compatibility code. If NEGOTIATOR_HOST does not 
exist, the recent releases of Condor (definitely v7.4.x, and I think 
v7.2.x as well) will do the right thing by querying the collector for 
the IP and port of the negotiator and it all seems good.

Thanks for reporting this one folks, and thanks to Becky G for creating 
a ticket,

Todd
