Apache doesn't know the computer only has one name -- there could be other name-based virtual hosts, and the only distinction is the Host header (which you didn't pass). It would make sense to have a default setting for this, as Apache doesn't appear to give a default. There's a NameBasedVirtualHost setting (or something like it), maybe that would effect the HTTP_HOST variable (like you might have it on without realizing it). HTTP/1.0 also doesn't require a Host header, and lots of bots only speak 1.0, so that might be the problem as well.
