The 36562K initial initrd was built on its initial installation
Do you omit critical piece of information intentionally?
Hard to say, since I can't tell what bit(s) of the statement make it critical. The 36562K size and the fact that it was the initial one built for that kernel version were provided 2016-01-12 22:48 (UTC-0500), in my previous post that you replied to, but not in the thread's OP, written before I noticed that $SUBJECT was logically connected to the huge hostonly initrd.
It is not the first time it happens.
Some people don't have eidetic memories. I'm one of them.
with dracut configured with hostonly=yes. When I rebuilt it after changing dracut configuration to hostonly=no, and adddriver changes, the quicker booting 9437K result uses the traditional short names.
Are you absolutely sure which one was built with hostonly=yes?
There have been only two built for that kernel on that installation so far. The larger is the older. The smaller is the newer, built after finding the initial was huge and producing unusually huge boot delay.
Or to put it differently - how you determine whether initrd was built using hostonly mode?
Examine the timestamps: http://fm.no-ip.com/Tmp/SUSE/Factory/ This is the dracut.conf file in place prior to the day's zypper update: http://fm.no-ip.com/Tmp/SUSE/Factory/dracut.conf.07 Note it contains hostonly="no" uncommented. http://fm.no-ip.com/Tmp/SUSE/Factory/i0nitrd-4.3.3-5-default1 is the initrd that resulted from using it. Only today I noticed that dracut.conf has been deprecated, so I did a bit of research, replaced my /etc/dracut.conf version with the .rpmsave version, then did some editing. Intermediate edits have all been lost. This is the final result of editing: http://fm.no-ip.com/Tmp/SUSE/Factory/modules.conf It lives in /etc/dracut.conf.d/ to provide the customizations I thought I would like. Only after completing the editing did I build the new initrd: http://fm.no-ip.com/Tmp/SUSE/Factory/i0nitrd-4.3.3-5-default2 The original 36562K one is: http://fm.no-ip.com/Tmp/SUSE/Factory/i0nitrd-4.3.3-5-default1 Whether the original was built after doing some preliminary editing I cannot remember definitively, but I'm pretty sure all edits were done after building the initial.

@Felix: do you have /etc/multipath.conf on your system? Do you have it in initrd that exhibits this problem? Could you show content of both?
/etc/multipath.conf does not exist. Grepping multipath in lsinitrd output produces no results in the /etc/ tree. -- "The wise are known for their understanding, and pleasant words are persuasive."
