I can confirm this problem on feisty (7.05). avahi should really warn about this. You swear a lot 'wtf?!?' until you get the idea that avahi is the problem.

See
http://www.avahi.org/wiki/AvahiAndUnicastDotLocal
(includes a suggestion for package maintainers)

And sadly
http://www.faqs.org/rfcs/rfc2606.html
does not contain a reserved TLD for such cases ...

Best regards
