OK, I found out why - when a host was disabled, hobbit's "valid until"
timestamp for the statusreport was not being updated; so to bbgen it
appeared as if the status message was no longer valid, hence it would
show up purple.  This would actually trigger a status update so the
"valid until" timestamp was refreshed, and it would stay blue for
another 30 minutes.

Cute interaction between the hobbit daemon and bbgen.
