This is with maas bzr2252-0ubuntu1, dhcpd 4.2.4-7ubuntu12.

One node, 'decathalete2', an Intel Decathalete system, is for some reason issuing DHCP requests very rapidly, and maas-dhcp-server is issuing new leases for it just as rapidly. I've observed 5 new leases created in a minute. This is causing the lease file to swell to hundreds of thousands of lines, even though only 6 nodes are being managed. This in turn causes celeryd to take forever to upload leases to MAAS.

MAAS/dhcpd should be more resilient here - it should not be creating so many leases for the same IP/MAC.
