A possible reason, in the FRR hostname, declares 2 times.

hostname debian
log syslog
log facility local7
hostname r5-roll

I can say that after testing here's what I found.

Turn on ISIS and here's how it is by default:

vyos@vyos:~$ show isis hostname
Level  System ID      Dynamic Hostname
     * 0000.0000.0123 debian

Make change:

vyos@TEST3# compare
[edit system]
>host-name booooo
[edit]
vyos@TEST3# commit
[edit]
vyos@TEST3# exit

But ISIS still doesn't show it:

vyos@vyos:~$ show isis hostname
Level  System ID      Dynamic Hostname
     * 0000.0000.0123 debian

Restart FRR and:

vyos@vyos:~$ restart frr

vyos@vyos:~$ show isis hostname
Level  System ID      Dynamic Hostname
     * 0000.0000.0123 booooo

This seems to be a behavior of FRR. I don't know for sure but, it seems FRR only checks /etc/hostname on startup and takes that value and ONLY that value on startup. It doesn't check it on change.....so for it to work (as in the hostname to change) then FRR must be restarted.I checked it again:

vyos@booooo# set system host-name vyos
[edit]
vyos@booooo# compare
[edit system]
>host-name vyos
[edit]
vyos@booooo# commit
[edit]
vyos@booooo# exit
Warning: configuration changes have not been saved.
exit
vyos@vyos:~$ show isis hostname
Level  System ID      Dynamic Hostname
     * 0000.0000.0123 booooo
vyos@vyos:~$ restart frr
