It was obvious enough. :) Also, since no one else has commented I'll take a stab. I've done a lot of work with DHCP, and I think that your assessment of this as an "edge case" was valid. You might want to bring up this discussion on the DHCP client mailing list, http://www.isc.org/view.cgi?/services/mailing-lists/dhcp-lists.phtml for more info. We use the ISC's implementation of dhclient v2.0 pretty much verbatim, so a fundamental change to the dhclient-script like you're suggesting here should really be discussed there.
