I've just spotted (on moss-bug, lace-bug has equivalent):

    # cat /etc/hosts
    127.0.0.1    	    localhost
    127.0.1.1    	    moss-bug.uk.xensource.com    	    moss-bug

    # The following lines are desirable for IPv6 capable hosts
    ::1     localhost ip6-localhost ip6-loopback
    ff02::1 ip6-allnodes
    ff02::2 ip6-allrouters
    # cat /var/lib/dhcp/dhclient.eth0.leases 
    lease {
      interface "eth0";
      fixed-address 10.80.229.144;
      filename "/pxelinux.0";
      option subnet-mask 255.255.240.0;
      option routers 10.80.224.1;
      option dhcp-lease-time 43200;
      option dhcp-message-type 5;
      option domain-name-servers 10.80.16.125,10.80.16.126;
      option dhcp-server-identifier 10.80.16.125;
      option domain-search "uk.xensource.com.", "xensource.com.", "xs.citrite.net.", "eng.citrite.net.", "citrite.net.";
      option ntp-servers 10.80.16.80,10.80.248.8;
      option host-name "moss-bug";
      option domain-name "uk.xensource.com";
      renew 4 2015/08/13 17:38:48;
      rebind 4 2015/08/13 23:19:23;
      expire 5 2015/08/14 00:49:23;
    }
    # domainname 
    (none)
    # hostname -f
    moss-bug.uk.xensource.com

I think /etc/hosts came from the installer getting the same domain-name
option in DHCP as shown above.

So I think that is a local infrastructure bug (which I'll get fixed) but I
also think that virsh's behaviour when given a FQDN or an explicit IP
address is strange.
