Well, starting with quantal we are using gethostname() as you can see in
the default dhclient.conf:

stgraber@castiana:~/Desktop/isc/quantal$ grep gethost 
isc-dhcp-4.2.4/debian/dhclient.conf  
send host-name = gethostname();
send fqdn.fqdn = gethostname();


So, the problem appears to be that Windows gets confused when both fields are 
set, sadly, not setting fqdn.fqdn will make dhcpv6 fail miserably, so unless 
there's an easy to have fqdn.fqdn only be set when doing dhcpv6, I still prefer 
breaking DNS for some Windows DHCP than breaking for 100% of the dhcpv6 
implementations.
