I have just tested this by booting (i386) with
hostname=test domain=aaa.nl
and the values that end up in /etc{hostname,hosts,resolv.conf} are still
those provided by the DHCP server, not the preseeded values.
IMO your change is either incorrect or else done for the wrong reasons and
making that change so shortly before the release seems inadvisable.
