This is working as designed. It's not possible for Nova to map anything until it's registered. Additional documentation for Ironic might be appropriate here.

When virt ironic driver is used, a compute node record is created after a node is created in ironic. If a nova compute host is set up before a node is created in ironic, discover_hosts command cannot discover the host. The command should be run after a node is created in ironic. I'm not sure if this is a bug. If not, it would be better to add a note to ironic install guide.
