Also, did you verify that the ip format you generate is identical to the "ASCII-representation of the client's IP address" as generated by the kernel?

The kernel docs say IP address, but the actual kernel code uses the host
name if set and falls back to the IP address.

That is indeed the case (from vanilla 2.6.29/fs/nfs/nfsroot.c):
