FQDN originates from the hostname in some way.   If the hostname is being set
on the first chef run through a recipe, it appears you have to run chef-client
twice to get the FQDN into the chef server.    sound right?

The first run of chef-client will pick up the original (and wrong) fqdn, and
input that into chef server.

The second chef-client run will get the new, and correct, fqdn.
