Apologies for the tardy feedback. Many thanks to all involved, gratefully and much appreciated. From my perspective, this issue is now resolved.
I've just tried this on a freshly deployed Trusty VM in Azure - a change to the hostname with 'hostnamectl' is now preserved when the VM is rebooted. I would like to point out though that, if not editing the /etc/hostname file directly, the 'hostnamectl' command must be used to set the hostname; using the 'hostname' command doesn't work (presumably because the hostname command doesn't change /etc/hostname).
