The inability to support insane network configurations is definately a problem with the current development release.
However it is not clear that this kind of intelligence should be automated. Whilst the solution that Robert suggests obviously worked, how does one detect a that the network is really a /23 rather than the advertised /24? I do not think there is any sensible automatic method by which this can be achieved. Personally I would recommend 'wontfix'ing this bug -- because there has been no confirmation that this is incorrect network configuration is still live at Heathrow (there is a reason for you to get to London now, Robert). Also -- has there been any confirmation from anyone that Windows actually produces anything sensible with this set of DHCP options? I suspect that the default router is set that way deliberately, and that the nameserver returns something on-link for every DNS query. Once you have given you credentials(^Wcredit card) it probably kicks the DHCP server to give you better ones.
