Since your packet-capture doesn't show any option 61 (client id) data,
I would expect the hardware address to be used instead, and
would share your expectation of the behaviour.

We must both be overlooking the same thing.

Or even (since you seem to be specifically interested in using the MAC 
address)

     class "mytest" { match hardware; }

which would protect against failing to recognize a client with `"Niall's 
Mac"`
as the client id, but would potentially introduce the "docking-station" 
problem
mentioned in _Droms and Lemon_.

I'm out of ideas. I hope someone else can contribute the missing 
insight.
