Well, it looks I was (at least partially) wrong.

One notable difference is that in the second case (without a local-host-names
file), the host name "larry.local" is not recognized as a local host name.

It may be a good idea to keep the local-host-names file in your case, to make
sure that Sendmail knows about both moe.local and larry.local.
