There are cases where such config will bring something good but only in rare cases it is not hiding some real setup problem. There is still not clear why with common setup of hosts/ipnodes he does not see effect of nscd cache and queries going to DNS even if needed data are in files. Still, ipnodes are not obsolete because if you query only hosts database, DNS backend will generate only query only fo A record, in case of ipnodes, it will generate both (so your workaround will work).
