"Loosen" and "unloosen" do, in fact, mean the same thing. We surely could simply use "loosen" and be done with it--there's no actual need to add the "un-" prefix. However, the word loose is similar to the word "leash" (though the first is from Old Norse "lauss" and the second from Old French "laisser"). Though similar sounding they mean almost opposite things--to leash is to tie up. So to unleash is to set free, very nearly the same meaning as loose or loosen. So my bet is that the "un-" prefix was added to loose to create unloose as a matter of confusion at first--used where the speaker intended to say "unleash"--and then eventually became so common as to have legitimate meaning.

I've been thinking about this all day. You can tighten a bolt, or loosen a bolt. When you UN-loosen a bolt, you continue to loosen until it comes all the way off- Once it's off, it isn't loose anymore. It's twisted logic, but I bet that's the difference.

Yah. English ist very very.. dumb. And.. nah, it's never made sense, lol. Stupid english. It's so very confusing! It's one of the hardest languages to learn.. I think it's like.. second or third to Japanese and Chinese, perhaps.. Or maybe it's above them, I dunno. They're difficult cuz you have to lear new alphabets. Multiple ones. For each. Lol.. Yah.
