I think your ISP does DNS hijacking: it resolves the “does-not-exist”
hostname used in this test and other tests to an IP.  The tests expect
an name lookup error, and instead get this, hence the error.

I think there’s not much we can do on your side, but you should
definitely complain to your ISP.  :-)

Thanks,
Ludo’.
