Hello Mårten,

Nice, thank you! I'll have this saved somewhere. This looks exactly what 
I'm observing. I'll switch http/2 off temporarily and wait for the fix.

In the meantime, I was more-or-less able to confirm in-field that this 
is indeed the problem with AAAA records. Forcing Windows to prefer ipv4 
fixed this in one of the cases.
