No solution is ideal here.

You've added a lot of comments to trac ticket
3298. There's one problem, though:

As I've shown earlier, these methods are not
equivalent when `hostname` doesn't resolve in the
"primary" domain ("primary" is the one listed
first in /etc/resolv.conf's "search" list or
"domain" name, whatever comes earlier).

Also, as you've shown, when "primary" domain is
altogether invalid, nothing will resolve in it and
your method will return different (but most
probably correct) result.
