It's calling gethostname, and gethostname on OS X just doesn't seem to
try particularly hard. From a brief experiment, it appears to give a FQDN
when I'm on a static IP, but once my IP becomes a dynamic one (through a
wireless router), it reverts to the non-FQDN name of the machine. Ah well.
Does not appear to be an emacs problem but instead a OS X problem.
(sysctl does not do any better.)
