You are right, there is a bug in res_querydomain, 
Line 737 *(ptr++ - 1) = '.';   should be
*ptr++ = '.';
 
I would also add a debug printf at the top of the function:
DPRINTF(statp->options & RES_DEBUG, "querydomain \"%s\"  \"%s\" type %d\n",
Name, DomName, Type);

Unfortunately I am not setup to build Cygwin so I can't test the above nor
submit a proper patch.
