The randomization only takes place for addresses of the same family. i.e. we'll randomize the order of A RRs among themselves (i.e of IPv4 addresses), and among AAAA RRs among themselves (i.e. of IPv6 addresses), but we will not mix A and AAAA RRs. What you are seeing simply has to do with the order the replies came in. i.e. when you do not specify the protocol that shall be used two requests will be sent to your DNS server, typically via UDP: one for A RRs and another one for AAAA RRs. Depending on the order they replies come back you'll see the addresses in one or the other order. We probably should add some fixed ordering between the address families though, so that what is returned here is independent of the order of replies we get.
