My computer isn't quite set up like yours, but I do have to say that at
least Gnome doesn't ignore the /etc/hosts file.  I installed FC4 on my
machine, then went and changed the machine name in the network settings
and restarted.  When I logged into Gnome, it complained that it couldn't
find my machine name in the /etc/hosts file.  I'd never seen this
behavior before... strange.  I had to add the entry in manually, then
Gnome quit complaining.
