I recall you some details : On my computer, no NIC, no DHCP (i've never heard about tmdns ...), just an RTC connection. So what i report IS a bug in those circumstances, as i've never been prompted in a normal install to provide a network name. Not a matter of opinion/discussion about localhost.localdomain validity, just a fix needed for the end user.
