Likely because ns3 has only ipv6 address and no ipv4 address and the
server you are checking from has no ipv6 capability.
You are asking for big problems using this method.
You should give all NS records an IPv4 address, and then add in IPv6 on
the ones you can

eg:

ns2                     A       ip.v.4.add
ns2                     AAAA    ip:6:addr

I guess the old versions are not so strict on checking, or dont know
what to do about ipv6
