FYI this will not effect DHCP as the hostname change is only used for mDNS and is not used as the system hostname and thus would affect DHCP etc
The cause of this is knwon and hopefully a fix will get done for it soon.. basically its when IP addresses are added then removed too fast. Can also happen with IPv6 because if a global address comes up the link local address is dropped. The code doesn't then handle teh previous announcement coming back into the avahi process and thiunks its a conflict. It's basically a race condition.
