This looks like a bug to me, you're failing to enter this condition
so that the search for the host-identifier based lookup can be
performed;

        if (!fixed_lease && !host) {

Because the 'host' pointer is filled with the 'hardware ethernet' host
record from before, the code never checks the host-identifier table.
