Is there any reason why /etc/hosts would be missing the line,

Nope. It's there by default in some form or another.
By default, it usually looks like this ->
127.0.0.1 installname localhost.localdomain localhost
::1 localhost6.localdomain6 localhost6
If you don't have anything like this in your /etc/hosts, you either
need to find a mirror and begin yelling at responsible parties, or
stalk whomever else has root on this particular machine.
I guess I could yell at myself as I'm doing kickstart installs from
a local mirror.
I found the same thing on two CentOS 5.1 installs here, one on a
VMware VM, the other on real iron. The wierd thing is that the
base VMware VM I have that I copy to create new VMs looks OK.
Now I'm going to have to poke around to see what's causing this
line to be deleted.

I had a similar problem using OpenVZ images, installed from kickstart -
almost like it's leaving some stuff out by default. So I ended up
creating the file manually and adding it to the kickstart file to be
copied over.
