This is a feature, I think. In fact, it's a feature that my project likes. :)
The assumption is that you might have a dynamic SOAP client that can discover a service as run-time and call it working only from the WSDL. In that case, it's important that the WSDL contain the true endpoint. "True" means what the client would call, so the WSDL varies according to the client's position on your net. If you want to publish WSDL with a textually-fixed endpoint, put the file on a web server. External clients will all see the same WSDL, I think, so the variations may not be a real problem.
