What service-pack level are you at? (For all three machines.)

If you are on SP2, you should definitely submit a bug on
http://connect.microsoft.com/SqlServer/. And if it's not an acceptable
workaround to rename the servers, I think you should open a case with
Microsoft, and demand that you get a hotfix.

If you are not on SP2, I recommend you to download it to see if it addresses
the problem. Note there is a rollup to SP2 which addresses two serious
bugs with maintenance plans. Make sure you get the rollup, if you use
maintenance plans.
