Did I get this right? the Google Compute Engine returns a domain name
with trailing dot in the DHCP domain option? 

Our DHCP client should certainly accept that, if that's what people
send, but I am not sure we should be equally liberal for locally
configured bits...

I now made this change:

Does that make things work on the google thing?
