I recognize that fact. This, however, does not change the fact that
someone outside of my control wishes for me to deal with these invalid
URLs. And, currently, I can't do this on anthing but a windows
machine.
Surely I should be able to co-erce linux into using these URLs (which
do actually resolve with host)?

These hostnames are just invalid.
From RFC 1912 - Common DNS Operational and Configuration Errors :
DNS domain names consist of "labels" separated by single dots. The
DNS is very liberal in its rules for the allowable characters in a
domain name. However, if a domain name is used to name a host, it
should follow rules restricting host names. Further if a name is
used for mail, it must follow the naming rules for names in mail
addresses.
Allowable characters in a label for a host name are only ASCII
letters, digits, and the `-' character. Labels may not be all
numbers, but may have a leading digit (e.g., 3com.com). Labels must
end and begin only with a letter or digit.
