I realized now that "hostnamectl set-hostname" is not deterministic. Most of the times, the new hostname is lost after reboot, sometimes, without any apparent reason, it is preserved. The problem is that I installed Ubuntu 18.04 with the Live image, which has some peculiarities (see https://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2390785). I will reinstall with the alternate ISO and see what happens.
