It is trying to do an IPv6 lookup (via ipnodes) before trying an IPv4 lookup (via hosts). Since you probably aren't using IPv6, you can get the desired behavior with:
hosts: files nis dns ipnodes: files Releases of Solaris/OpenSolaris later than what you appear to be running know how to look up IPv6 addresses via hosts as well. That is, ipnodes in nsswitch.conf becomes obsolete.
