the ip configuration was never touched in my setup; nothing bogus here.

according to nsswitch.conf(5), the following line from my nsswitch.conf (which 
i never touched) says that if no dns is available at all, mdns is used for 
resolution
hosts:          files mdns4_minimal [NOTFOUND=return] dns mdns4

what is still strange, even if i manually set resolution to mdns4 only,
i can't reproduce ping reverse-lookuping :-(

if there are no new ideas on your side, i suggest this bug be set in a
state which marks it as "not reproducable" until i find a way to
reproduce it

p.s.:
i did though find another place where this information leaks to other users:
$ ps aux |grep avahi-daemon
avahi     5422  0.0  0.0   2868  1432 ?        Ss   17:12   0:00 avahi-daemon: 
running [foobar.local]

this is probably much less of a problem if not by design.
