Some proxy DNS servers might not resolve IPv6 names to addresses.
Instead they reply with NOERROR while passing no real data.
That combination of NOERROR and EAI_NODATA happen because the DNS
server has a recored for requested name (example.net in our case)
but that record is not of AAAA type which was requested.

That's what Wireshark sees in that case:
---------------------------------->8-----------------------------
Domain Name System (response)
   Transaction ID: 0x6e2e
   Flags: 0x8180 Standard query response, No error
       1... .... .... .... = Response: Message is a response
       .000 0... .... .... = Opcode: Standard query (0)
       .... .0.. .... .... = Authoritative: Server is not an authority for domain

       .... .... ..0. .... = Answer authenticated: Answer/authority portion was not authenticated by the server
       .... .... ...0 .... = Non-authenticated data: Unacceptable
       .... .... .... 0000 = Reply code: No error (0)

       example.net: type AAAA, class IN
           Name: example.net
           [Name Length: 11]
           [Label Count: 2]
           Type: AAAA (IPv6 Address) (28)
           Class: IN (0x0001)
---------------------------------->8-----------------------------

And that's what we see if Google DNS server (8.8.8.8) is used instead:
---------------------------------->8-----------------------------

   Transaction ID: 0x3cd4
