Ok, according to the discussion on bind-users it seems the deciding 
factor should be whether or not a name server error is returned. If not, 
then EAI_NONAME is the right answer (for example, with a chain of CNAMEs 
that do not end in an AAAA record). If the name server does return an 
error (like SERVFAIL or NXDOMAIN) then EAI_FAIL is the right answer. You 
can see the reasoning for this in the thread at 
https://lists.isc.org/pipermail/bind-users/2011-April/083542.html if 
you're interested.

In the meantime, I'm going to see who I have to poke to get the bug in 
FreeBSD fixed.
