But if I create the instance with a cloud-init script to set the hostname to the FQDN, and then reboot the instance after creation, /etc/hostname contains the FQDN and hostname returns the FQDN.

Ah, right. I just remembered I also need to set it up with cloud-init. This is
the config I use for the FreeIPA demo:

#cloud-config: FreeIPA cloud configuration
hostname: ipa.demo1.freeipa.org
fqdn: ipa.demo1.freeipa.org
manage_etc_hosts: false
