It still doesn't seem to work on Optus ADSL (Australia), and I think the
reason is that the creation of the host route is conditional on the
netmask:

/sbin/dhclient-script:198: 
   if [ "$new_subnet_mask" == "255.255.255.255" ]; then ...

because the interface is given an IP address with subnet 255.255.255.0, and a 
gateway address that
is not in this range.

Why not just remove the conditional line?
No harm in (trying to) creating a host route to the gateway, even if it is 
redundant?
