Thanks for the reminder about where to locate the test programs Wietse.
I confirmed this appears to be an issue with RHEL5 (all patches applied
today). The issue is resolved in RHEL6. I am running a local instance of
BIND (bind-9.3.6-20.P1.el5_8.6) on the affected server(s).
el5 also has bind97 packages, try upgrading to that and see if it fixes
your issue.

BIND seems to be working fine as far as I can tell... All the normal
tools: dig, host, nslookup are working when querying either the local
BIND 9.3 instance or a remote 9.8 instance. The problem seems limited to
applications that rely on the kernel function getnameinfo. How would
updating to bind 9.7 resolve that?
