I could find no version of nslookup on my systems which do as you suggest.

All of my nsswitch.conf files have "hosts:      files dns"

This includes nslookup on RHELv4.8 as well as ubuntu.

In all my years I can't recall ever coming across that behavior....and it doesn't
make much sense to me that a utility/tool meant to query the DNS would do this.  dig
also doesn't.

If you can recall what version did this I'd be interested to know.
