Well, it was *something* to do with the relationship between the hosts and hostname files. And it's all better now too. /etc/hostname was the last file I looked to for clues, having forgot that it existed. Why does it? I really thought that a host's own name was sorted out between the source of /etc/hosts, and host.conf, nsswitch, and so on. Thanks to all responders.
