Indeed very odd. Another thing to try is -d+resolver, which is not in the
default for -d on its own. IIRC, the output from +resolver goes to
stdout instead of stderr (it comes from within the resolver).
This does have a vague smell of "checking one name server but the live
system is using another", but that's just a guess.
