Does that surprise you? It is neither surprising nor ironic.
nslookup is part of ISC's BIND and is written specifically to
query DNS servers, not follow system resolver protocols through
a chain of services. First line in the Description part of
man page reads:
Nslookup is a program to query Internet domain name servers.
DNS lookups is all it is designed to do, so should not expect
it to behave a like a standard client app and use system resolver.
