On what OS?  I'm looking at 1.4.1 on RHL 9.

How did you test "offline" behavior?  I tried two things: removing the
network card from my laptop, and configuring for a non-existent nameserver
"10.0.0.1".  In both cases my test program behaved the same whether
compiled with gcj or running under JDK 1.4.1.

This is the program I tested with:

import java.net.*;

public class IA {
  public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
      System.out.println(InetAddress.getByName("0.0.0.0").getHostName());
  }
}

I'm questioning though if you've found the root of the implementation
difference.
