Who writes such poor error messages nobody understands? It should be something like "Problem with DNS reverse mapping". BTW, my binkd logs just the IP address if there's no reverse mapping entry, but doesn't log an error.

No, it should be the return value of getnameinfo() and optionally the errno in case of EAI_SYSTEM.
