Mission-control is running Athena 9.1.15 / Solaris. Just for a
baseline:

mission-control:29521.null% hostinfo foobar
Desired host:   foobar
Official name:  foobar.MIT.EDU
Host address:   18.239.0.66

mission-control:29521.null% hostinfo foobar.mit.edu
Desired host:   foobar.mit.edu
Official name:  foobar.mit.edu
Host address:   18.239.0.66

No problem.  Now the weirdness:

mission-control:29521.null% hostinfo nw12-rtr-1
No such host 'nw12-rtr-1'.

mission-control:29521.null% hostinfo nw12-rtr-1.mit.edu | head -5
Desired host:   nw12-rtr-1.mit.edu
Official name:  nw12-rtr-1.mit.edu
Host address:   18.251.0.1
Host address:   18.252.0.1
Host address:   18.9.0.1

harley:29521.null% hostinfo nw12-rtr-2 | head -5
Desired host:   nw12-rtr-2
Official name:  nw12-rtr-2.MIT.EDU
Host address:   18.120.0.1
Host address:   18.139.0.1
Host address:   18.150.0.1

Neo has it's own builtin hostinfo feature:

mission-control:29521.null% neo hostinfo nw12-rtr-1
Official name:  NW12-RTR-1-W5.MIT.EDU
Host address:   18.249.0.1
Host CPU:       CISCO/7513
Host OS:        IOS

I don't see anything odd with dig or the hosttable, though those would
be irrelevant from a FQDN point of view.

mission-control:29521.null% more /etc/resolv.conf 
domain MIT.EDU
nameserver 127.0.0.1

Same bahavior on a stock 9.1.14 Linux machine.
