Ran into this myself. It's a simple miscalculation, so the last
character of the data-message sent to the RRD module is truncated, and
this is usually the I/O wait number (if it is a single digit).

Patch attached. You'll need to restart Hobbit after this.

The bb-host(5) man-page tells you:

       COMPACT:COLUMN=COLUMN1,COLUMN2,COLUMN3[;ditto]
            Collapses a series of statuses  into  a  single
	    column  on  the overview webpage.

E.g. if you have columns foo, bar and baz that you want to collapse
into column "zork":
    0.0.0.0  myhost # COMPACT:zork=foo,bar,baz
