This issue has been resolved.

Descriptive Problem Summary:
When the person hosting the world is logged into it and is a guest, world.host contains only "Guest", instead of the host's actual key ("Guest-#######").

A related issue is that world.host is set to "Guest" as well (even if the host isn't present in the world) when hosting through Dream Daemon without first being logged in the pager, with DD displaying:
Logging in... BYOND pager is offline. Connecting as Guest.
In such a situation I would expect the world.host var to simply be 'empty' instead (just as the Reference states).

Kaioken	The first issue is still present when the world is ran through Dream Seeker. Also, when not logged into the pager and hosting a world, world.host is set to your guest key, which quite contradicts its reference entry. It's probably better to make it blank instead, which will also be prettier than having "hosted by Guest-123456" on hub entries.
