I don't actually care about the FQDN to be honest (and I suspect few 
people would be); what I do care about is consistency of behaviour.  So if 
it always returned the simple hostname, regardless, I would be happy with 
that.  It would be a backwardly incompatible change though, of course, at 
least for FreeBSD users.
