Still true for Ubuntu 12.04.1. Especially misleading since /etc/apticron/apticron.conf states:

# SYSTEM="foobar.example.com"

It seems to use "hostname -A" instead. Also, on one of my systems "hostname -A" returns an empty string, so the hostname is completely missing from the emails in this case.
