Bug or no bug?
I had no time investigating this further, but with the DNS resolver set to OpenDNS and using current trunk, NoScript is offering me to "allow opendns.com" on the default start page (about:home). I guess it's the same with any other DNS server with a domain-not-found hijacking service.

This does not show itself anymore, I guess because of trunk changes or because snippets.mozilla.org resolves to something now.
But the issue is still there, why is a domain being resolved to an IP and the back again? (or so do I believe can this be explained)

Nothing like that: OpenDNS just redirects the failed request to its own search engine, hence NoScript "sees" the final destination and offers it for allowing.
