Actually, you have quite enough to figure this out.  From my
description, and the account of comment #3 you know:

1.  hostname expects a specific binding to the local hostname in /etc/hosts
2.  it is not in /etc/hosts by default, forcing users to add it manually to 
resolve the issue.
3.  you probably have to either: a) alter the default content of /etc/hosts, or 
b) alter what hostname expects to be there.
