Sometimes rules get called more than once, which is probably the source of
your problem.  Where you find the rule that prepends the $U, change the ruleset
to only do that only if it isn't already there.  You could do that by adding
a rule before the one that removes your host name if it is there, and then
if the rule is called twice, it would just get removed and added again.
