Setting the host name via cloud-init is currently supported - you can set it
via the Add/Edit VM via the "Initial Run" section or try to run-once the VM
and look at the same "initial Run" section.
Please note that if you do Edit a VM that already run ie already initialized
oVirt engine will not send the cloud-init data, you will need to use run-once
dialog.

What you reported looks like a bug - the VM name should be the hostname and
not the template name.

Care to report the bug on bugzilla?
