Problem with resolver/host

[Doug Hardie]

I suspect this is an issue with the resolver, but it could also be in host.  I have the following in /etc/resolv.conf:

# Generated by resolvconf
nameserver fe80::213:72ff:fec3:180f%bge0
nameserver fe80::120c:6bff:fee9:cdf7%bge0

There is a DNS server running at the first address that supplies IPv6 addresses.  When I ping the first address, it succeeds:

test# ping fe80::213:72ff:fec3:180f%bge0
PING6(56=40+8+8 bytes) fe80::6a5b:35ff:fed3:4eda%bge0 --> fe80::213:72ff:fec3:180f%bge0
16 bytes from fe80::213:72ff:fec3:180f%bge0, icmp_seq=0 hlim=64 time=0.321 ms
16 bytes from fe80::213:72ff:fec3:180f%bge0, icmp_seq=1 hlim=64 time=0.553 ms
16 bytes from fe80::213:72ff:fec3:180f%bge0, icmp_seq=2 hlim=64 time=0.544 ms
16 bytes from fe80::213:72ff:fec3:180f%bge0, icmp_seq=3 hlim=64 time=0.424 ms

However, host client.global.example return an error:

test# host client.global.example
;; connection timed out; no servers could be reached

ktrace of host shows that either host or the resolver is trying to use the address without the %bge0 which is why that error occurs:

 2027 host     STRU  struct sockaddr { AF_INET6, [fe80::213:72ff:fec3:180f]:53 }
  2027 host     RET   sendto -1 errno 51 Network is unreachable

Is this a bug or is there some configuration item I have missed:
