Apple's mDNS responder is open source, and you can read through the relevant function yourself at: http://www.opensource.apple.com/source/Libinfo/Libinfo-330.3/lookup.subproj/mdns_module.c The function you're looking for is _mdns_query_mDNSResponder. The block comment describing the behaviour is consistent both with the code beneath it and with observed behaviour on the wire. I would not call it a nasty surprise. If you were to look at si_addrinfo_list_from_hostent in si_getaddrinfo.c you might find a genuine nasty surprise - AAAA results always appear before A results on OS X, even if the local host only has loopback IPv6 addresses. (And even if the local host has global unicast v4 and 6to4 v6).
