This is not what I observe.  Like you, I have a one word (without dot)
hostname: "computer".  Then, I do:

   - emacs -Q
   - M-: (setq send-mail-function 'smtpmail-send-it)
   - M-: (setq smtpmail-queue-mail t)
   - M-x message-mail
  [ here the "From:" is set to
    manuel@computer.mail-host-address-is-not-set]
   - I fill "To:" and 'C-c C-c'
  [ now another mail… ]
   - M-x message-mail
  [ I fill "To:" and change the "From:" to manuel@elsewhere ]
   - 'C-c C-c'
  [ do send now… ]
   - M-x smtpmail-send-queued-mail

Both mails are sent and when I retrieve them both have the "From:"
exactly how it was: respectively
manuel@computer.mail-host-address-is-not-set and manuel@elsewhere

I have tested the same recipe as above (without setting
smtpmail-queue-mail to t) and it works correctly for me and the "From:"
of the two retrieved mails are also the same.  Could you test this
recipe?
