Do your DNS servers thing they are root servers? (is there a . zone?)
When you fully qualify a name it looks like you are getting a response,
so I would think it's either down to suffixes and search lists
(client-side), or possibly recursive settings at the server end
(possibly coupled with maybe thinking it's a root server?).
