This question sound sarcastic, but it is probably not what you mean :D 

No, the problem do not fix itself. Even if i wait one day.

Yes.

Here is one test, i have one PC (lan only) and netbook (wlan + lan). In
one hour after removing lan and run "avahi-browse -arc":
- PC list _workstation at netbook, but no _presence at netbook. I guess it
reached TTL and was removed from the cache.
- netbook list _workstation at PC and _presence at PC, but it can't resolve
_presence even for itself _presence at netbook (it can resolve
_workstation)
