[Dnsmasq-discuss] dhcp-host question

I have the following lines at the end of my /etc/dnsmasq.conf file:-

    dhcp-host=00:90:a9:70:06:ff,backup
    dhcp-host=00:BB:3A:E9:A3:15,maxineKindle
    dhcp-host=00:09:B0:C9:6C:C8,onkyoTx-nr616
    dhcp-host=28:EF:01:2D:EB:07,chrisKindle
    dhcp-host=C4:71:30:3E:63:4C,fonera

These all do what's expected except the last one, the fonera one. My
'hscan' (which uses nmap) returns:-

Why isn't the dhcp-host entry for fonera working?
