Ah... the "write_hostname" seems to result in the 127.0.0.2 hack.

Originally intended as fallback to get the hostname resolved when
there is no IP address available on dynamic (ppp,dhcp) links...
and breaking resolving of the hostname completely as it causes to
always resolve the hostname to 127.0.0.2... even the IP is there.
So "write_hostname" seems the wrong way to do it.

Open a bug report for autoyast2. I've no idea about this machinery.
