It looks like the recursive name server is doing something weird.
Can you have a look in your /etc/resolv.conf and get the IP address
for your name server and then do:

        dig aaaa www.google.com @IP_ADDRESS_OF_NAME_SERVER
        dig a www.google.com @IP_ADDRESS_OF_NAME_SERVER

Do you know what is acting as your recursive DNS server?
