I think the simultaneity of these lookups is unimportant.

Are you sure this is not because Squid has already made earlier connections to
this name, decided that IPv4 is better, and continues to use that when you are
now testing it?
I would expect you to have to start from an "undecided" Squid setup (I have no
idea where it keeps this informatin for later use, though) to find out whether
this is what's going on.
