Bad example. The first *four* browsers I tried (firefox, chrome,
safari,
and opera on osx) handle this perfectly.
Who cares? It's not about which flavour-of-the-month browsers handle
this and which ones don't.
It's already clear that address records in TLDs lead to unpredictable
behaviour. The mutually exclusive results you and Phil got prove this.
So it just doesn't matter if it's particular versions of particular
browsers that are at fault; or the (configuration) of their stub
resolvers; or the local DNS setup; or something else in the underlying
OS. The outcome is the same.
BTW, I used to have an email address of j@?? at a ccTLD. Its DNS admin
had sneaked in an A record for just that purpose. [The registry
database wouldn't add MX records.] However very few MTAs and MUAs were
able to handle this email address correctly.
