There's an error in that line, it should probably be
dhcp-host=00:11:d8:a8:58:21,10.32.1.3,set:lan,tijger
dhcp-host can set tags, but not test them: from the man page
--dhcp-host=[<hwaddr>][,id:<client_id>|*][,set:<tag>][,<ipaddr>][,<hostname>][,<lease_time>][,ignore]

So, 2.55 - 2.57 has gone from not reporting an error, to reporting a
misleading error. That's progress, of a sort. I'll try and make the
message less misleading in the next release.
