Strange, it didn't work for me yesterday but it does now. I must have 
missed something.

Anyway, when you s/socket.gethostname()/api.env.host/ in ipactl after 
applying your patch, IPA starts fine even when the hostname is changed 
to non-FQDN after the install, which I believe fixes the aforementioned 
ticket 1035.
