Comment 11 jcallaha 2017-03-30 19:14:18 UTC 
I registered a vmware host to satellite, along with it being reported by virt-who. I then shortened its hostname. Next, I associated the host to it's corresponding vm in the compute resource, and made it managed by satellite. Then, I created/registered a new host with a hostname that is an expansion of the first host's short name. 

At this point, I ran the unify hosts task. As a result, the hosts were correctly not unified.
Comment 12 jcallaha 2017-03-30 20:02:39 UTC 
Continuing, I unregistered the original host and managed the second, then re-ran the command.

-bash-4.1# foreman-rake katello:unify_hosts USE_NAME=true
...
Host dhcp-10-12-211-60.fake.domain.com is registered with subscription-manager but is managed, please un-unmanage this host first.

Verified in Satellite 6.2.9 Snap 2.
