Sorry for not noticing these old e-mails and fixing the problem..
Could you repeat the experiment after creating (touching) /etc/resolv.conf 
and report if you can get an srv record correctly?

[When that file exists, minires queries a DNS server directly. When it doesn't, 
 minires queries the local Windows cache. Depending on the type, Windows 
 returns either the original wireline data or structured data, which must then be
 translated back into wireline format :(  This step must be currently mishandled.]

Pierre
