This happens on 11.4 and I haven't noticed it on anything newer. And it seems like it's a new problem for me because I've been running 11.4 on this box since it came out and never remember having this issue. The only thing new on this box is the use and configuration of a wireless usb adapter. This /etc/hosts entry is an IP address directly connecting me to a machine NOT on my local network or even in my area. So it's more or less a foreign entry. But why is Yast removing it? Seems just WRONG to me. It should never remove entries I've manually put in there. Why is it removing it?
