There was an additional report of this from Johannes Rohr in
Bug#816915 that turned out to be the same issue. Now merged with this
report.
On my system I don't see this behavior. For me it is the opposite.
For me I must use the short hostname or it won't match.

I am hoping LOCALHOST doesn't collide with some special variable. In
my testing I didn't use a sudo config host alias.

This part seems most informative. On my machines when I use sudo -l
the hostname display is the short name not the FQDN.

There is a change in this area since previously it was reported as
"this host" and now it lists out the actual hostname. Looking at the
code it has been significantly rewritten. But in your report it is
listed as the FQDN and not the short hostname. That is probably the
important clue.
These questions are addressed to either of you, or any other, with
this problem.
What is the hostname of your system? Is it the short hostname or the
long FQDN? On mine it is the short name.
cat /etc/hostname
euphoria
How is your /etc/hosts configured?
grep -e '^127.0' -e '^::1' /etc/hosts
127.0.0.1 localhost
127.0.1.1 euphoria.proulx.com euphoria
::1 localhost ip6-localhost ip6-loopback
What are the contents of your /etc/nsswitch.conf file?
grep hosts /etc/nsswitch.conf
hosts: files dns
There is a package libnss-myhostname that attempts to resolve dns
names in this area. I do NOT have it installed. (For me it broke
something that I forget at this moment.) Do you have it installed?
dpkg -l libnss-myhostname
Thanks,
Bob
