Well it turns out that the following sequence always fails:
 * turn on node2 (so the MAC addresss of node2 gets into the node1 ARP cache)
 * run ssi_addnode on node1
 * reboot node2 (if PXE boot timed out on node2)
 * node2 will fail, as described above

It can be solved with:
 * turn off node2
 * run ssi-rmnode 2 on node1
 * run ssi-addnode 2 on node1 (MAC address node2 still in arp cache)
 * reboot node1
 * boot node2

So it seems a reboot after the ssi-addnode solves the problem. Awkward, but no
big deal, if you do not add/delete nodes too often.
