I use probably too outdated 0.9.12.
I also got interesting results while testing from git.
Attached logs from strace for busybox ping. Files marked with '4' in names mean that first address in resolv.conf was ipv4 one then ipv6, while other two vice versa.
Git build with ipv4 address given first fails with big loop and no host is resolved (huge log).
Git version was built with debugging, shared and existing binary executed via invoking libc.so.
Since ipv4 addresses are working right if come first, then your approach seems to be fine.
