Is this only {error,notfound} when you use an {inet6, true} 
configuration? There should be no problem looking up AAAA
DNS records over IPv4:

    $ dig -4 aaaa ipv6.google.com
    ...
    ipv6.google.com.    9981  IN  CNAME  ipv6.l.google.com
    ipv6.l.google.com.  201   IN  AAAA   2001:4860:0:1001::68
    ...
    ;; SERVER: 213.133.100.100#53(213.133.100.100)
    ...

I only run Linux, so I can't test it myself - but I am 
interested.
