Hi David, sorry for the tardy reply!

It's currently intended, as per the execution usage docs:

    http://docs.fabfile.org/en/1.4.3/usage/execution.html#order-of-precedence

Note though that if you change from '-H xxx' to 'taskname:host=xxx' it
should work as expected.

This has tripped up other folks as well; Fab 2.x will likely change
things to be more intuitive so that CLI always overrides anything
hard-coded, regardless of how "specific" the hard-coded setting is.
For now, though, backwards compat means your best bet is the per-task
override.

Best,
Jeff
