No I don't think it is.  You have compiled dhcpcd with zeroconf enabled and if 
it takes too long to get an ip address from your wireless router the zeroconf 
kicks in and assigns one of the private addresses reserved for this purpose.  
You could try recompiling dhcpcd without zeroconf and see what happens.
