Guest OS resolving doesn't work if host OS DNS is set to 127.0.0.1

Description
On Linux host (Fedora 14) I run Windows XP SP3 guest (default configuration) with NAT networking.
My host reads its DNS this way (I run a local DNS forwarder daemon):
[birdie@localhost ~]$ cat /etc/resolv.conf 127.0.0.1
But unfortunately in this case guest doesn't get any DNS server:

LOL.
127.0.0.1 is obviously a wrong setting, when I changed it 'nameserver 127.0.0.1` everything started working correctly.
Please, close this bug report, it's invalid.

Could you please attach your log file? I've tried it locally and get 10.0.2.2 as DNS server.
