I suspect that it really is the the same mechanism. If you start avahi from the command line you will not use the script in /etc/init.d that contains the check if there is a local. domain.

If you do as suggested in bug 327362: and Issue the command:

host -t SOA local.

and see an answer like: "Host local. not found: 3(NXDOMAIN)", this is not the same problem.
If you instead see an answer like (for my ISP): "local has SOA record localhost. backbone.telia.net. 1 3600 900 3600000 3600", but for your ISP, then it is indeed the same problem.
