I think ansible_hostname is a property of the ssh connection. I'm pretty
certain it is not present when you use, for example, wirnm connection.
This is a complete guess but I wonder if in your case sometimes it is
failing to set up ssh connection and then falling back to another
connection type (say paramiko) which perhaps doesn't have ansible_hostname
defined.
Hope this helps,
Jon
