Do you find a script in /etc/init.d or someplace which messes with /etc/hosts? (I don't, not in /etc/network or /etc/init.d .)

Mine looks like it was last modified on 2008-03-28 which might have been the last time I used DHCP. I don't have any real grip over what Avahi does but if you use Network Manager with roaming mode, this is the sort of thing it does, I believe.

locate avahi | fgrep hosts brought up two matches which look sort of promising: /etc/avahi/hosts and the avahi.hosts manual page.
