[LightDM] Lightdm host in XDMCP chooser menu

I have a lightdm setup in an XDMCP configuration like this:

[SeatDefaults]
type=xremote
xserver-allow-tcp=true
xdmcp-port=177
greeter-show-remote-login=true
greeter-allow-guest=false

[XDMCPServer]
enabled=true
port=177

I have a kdm chooser host which is configured to show the lightdm host in
it's chooser menu.

It seems to work, except for the rather irritating fact that the chooser
hostname and status field of the lightdm host show up as completely empty
in the menu (the menu shows an empty line instead of a proper host entry).

lightdm.log shows
[+26.32s] DEBUG: Got Query(authentication_names=[]) from 10.16.96.76:44231
[+26.32s] DEBUG: Send Willing(authentication_name='' hostname=''
status='') to 10.16.96.76:44231

Where you can clearly see that the hostname and status strings are empty
(status normally shows number of users logged in and load on the remote
XDMCP host). It seems that lightdm does not set these fields?

Am I missing something or is this a bug?
