Actually, it does. Here, /var/run/nm-dhclient-wlan0.conf contains:

# Created by NetworkManager

send host-name "philomeena"; # added by NetworkManager

option rfc3442-classless-static-routes code 121 = array of unsigned integer 8;
option ms-classless-static-routes code 249 = array of unsigned integer 8;
option wpad code 252 = string;

also request rfc3442-classless-static-routes;
also request ms-classless-static-routes;
also request wpad;
also request ntp-servers;

"philomeena" being the hostname of my laptop.
