Hmmm..certainly sounds like a bug. It should pickup that the node is local. It
checks the hostname (as returned by gethostname), but it also checks to see if
host resolves to a local address. I'm assuming that the offending host has some
other address besides just 127.0.1.1 as otherwise it couldn't connect to
anything.
I'm heading out the door for a couple of weeks, but can try to look at it when
I return.
