They don't seem to think it's a bug.  If you squint while reading RFC 3493 at an
angle in bad light then it might be compliant behaviour, depending on which of 
these parts of the getnameinfo definition takes precedence:

[quote]
      Note: The IPv6 unspecified address ("::") and the IPv6 loopback
      address ("::1") are not IPv4-compatible addresses.  If the address
      is the IPv6 unspecified address ("::"), a lookup is not performed,
      and the [EAI_NONAME] error is returned.
[snip]
   -  If the flag bit NI_NUMERICHOST is set, the numeric form of the
      host's address shall be returned instead of its name, under all
      circumstances.
