What do you mean by "default installation".
Hostname binary is in testing/inetutils too and it will come to [core] soon.

1) downloaded archlinux-2011.08.19-netinstall-dual.iso
2) launch X86_64 installer
3) choose network source and mirror of choice, enabling core, extra, community and multilib, each '-remote'
4) install everything as suggested by installer (no changes to lists)
5) continue and finish installation
6) reboot into freshly installed system
7) pacman -S xorg-xinit ...
8) startx

Nowhwere along this way is hostname getting installed right now.
