Failure to resolve TXT records

Description
I'm on windows 8 and running a clean Ubuntu 12.04 as a guest. I have --natdnshostresolver1 on. I am NOT on a vpn or anything like that.
I can resolve "A" records fine, but not "TXT" records. E.g. by running nslookup -type=TXT gmail.com I expect to get "v=spf1 redirect=_spf.google.com" but I don't. (this of course isn't my ultimate goal, it is just to illustrate and reproduce the problem).
Attaching a screenshot with results for host,guest and a standalone ubuntu.
If I change the name server from '10.0.2.3' to e.g. '8.8.8.8' in /etc/resolv.conf - everything works! (This is not an option for me, however).
A colleague of mine also reproduced the problem, he's on a Mac. Please let me know if you need me to attach VBox.log.
(Just for the record, the problem was discovered with vagrant used to start up the machine, using http://files.vagrantup.com/precise64.box template).

Host resolver is not designed to and is not expected to resolve TXT records.

Host resolver is severely limited and is probably the wrong tool for the job.
You are probably better served by DNS proxy:
