Thanks! I guess that this occurs if the host is configured with a search domain and that domain has a wildcard entry. That is not the most common situation, but we may have users working in this kind of environment. Therefore I will modify the tests so that they are skipped dynamically if they are executed on a host that doesn't meet the expectations.
