Perhaps I should have called it sendING_host_reject to make it clear
that it was dealing with the host and not with the message's sender.

By intent. They are independent. Calls from hosts that match
sender_net_reject will get rejected immediately; calls from other hosts
will get accepted, and then the messages' senders will get checked when
they are received. See the amazing flowchart in section 41.6 of the 2.0
manual.
