interesting... I can access the site on Firefox 2.x in OpenSuSE 10.2 but I get other codes back:

It seems the codes depend on the lang setting. I also get the same as you with en_US.UTF-8.
Anyway, as for your question... I don't thing host or ping or dig are buggy; they just don't know how to handle these international characters, I guess...
But somehow it does know? I mean, it tries to translate to escapes. I think it should work, anyhow.
I think the answer is linked to by the Chilean site: "It should be noted that, even though some programs used in the Internet, in particular some browsers, already implement IDN and effect this conversion automatically, others still do not." See http://www.nic.cl/CL-IDN-policy.html and on Suse 10.2, when I use the RFC3490-specified encoding, it works: $ host www.xn--and-6ma2c.cl www.xn--and-6ma2c.cl has address 200.1.123.3 So I don't think there's a bug, just patience until new versions come along.
