You stated up-front that it is a bug in the DNS resolver. Since the DNS resolver is part of your Windows OS, and not of VLC, it should come to as no surprise that no attempt to fix the problem is forthcoming from VLC developers.
Besides, this is a volunteer project. If you are not satisfied with the development process, you are more than welcome to contribute a fix yourself (or pay someone else to do so).
