That's because you happen to be using a DHCP server that has good enough manners not to try to shove unrequested options (like name servers) down your machine's throat. My experience is that there are in fact quite a few DHCP servers out there which are not so well behaved. Then dhclient-script will happily mess with your resolv.conf even though your dhclient.conf never asked the DHCP server for anything related to DNS servers. See http://marc.info/?l=openbsd-tech&m=131302612614702&w=2 for my complete opinion on the matter...

It "leads to the duplication of information between /etc/resolv.conf, /etc/resolv.conf.tail, and /etc/dhclient.conf, and thus has the feel of curing the /etc/resolv.conf symptom instead of curing the dhclient-script disease :-)" In short, "supersede" and resolv.conf.tail work but they are aesthetically unpleasing, IMHO (I'm not speaking for the original poster, who might have a different rational).
