I verified this to be the case in Wireshark. It's sending both A and AAAA queries for hostname vod.ohai.su (not sure how it got that from pool.sks-keyservers.net but whatever probably not relevant.) However it's only GPG that seems to do this. If I ping either of those hostnames it sends only an A query. Same for my web browser and all other traffic I observed. It's only GPG that's trying to do these AAAA DNS queries.
How do I change my resolver as you suggested? I don't have any kind of special setup. I'm just using Google's public DNS (8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4) set in /etc/resolv.conf along with a static IP.
