As you see, the destination address selection isn't a solution for
broken name server. But, it solves a problem during connect for IPv4
only users.

Yes, actually. However I'm tired enough to hear this issue. Though I
don't like to make a patch for this issue, I don't like to hear a
problem about IPv6 related issue from IPv4 only users. So, I made a
patch to add no_aaaa_quesy to resolver option. With this option,
getaddrinfo() and getipnodebyname() do A query against AF_UNSPEC. The
former is for 4-STABLE and the latter is for 5-CURRENT. If there is
no objection, I'll commit it.
Sincerely,
