Now, I know for a fact that the host is not dead, which in my mind is further confirmed by the fact that labrea.nasl and ping_host.nasl did not report the problem – I’ve increased the timeouts in nessusd.conf, but with no success.

There are bugs with the bpf sharing program which is there to compensate for the lack of bpf's on an OpenBSD system. When it does not work, it may report some hosts are dead as it can't receive the replies to 'pings' sent to them. The workaround is to create at least 42 bpfs (100 recommended) and recompile Nessus.
