I've now had the opportunity to clear out the leases file, and currently
with 430 distinct MAC addresses this seems to be working (i.e. I can
search leases by hardware-address).

As nobody replied to my initial query, could anyone more knowledgeable
than I tell me whether I can expect for this to continue working? It is
possible there were some stale leases following global configuration
changes in the old leases file.
