MX record lookup problem.

I have a domain name jandg-cooper.com registered with Enom.
jandg-cooper.com does not refer to any host, so there is no A or CNAME
record for that, but there is an MX record for jandg-cooper.com, which
points to cooper-linux.jandg-cooper.com
The problem is that if an MX query for jandg-cooper is preceded by an A
record query, then the MX query fails:
$ host -t MX jandg-cooper.com
jandg-cooper.com mail is handled by 10 cooper-linux.jandg-cooper.com.
$ host jandg-cooper.com
Host jandg-cooper.com not found: 3(NXDOMAIN)
$ host cooper-linux.jandg-cooper.com
cooper-linux.jandg-cooper.com has address 213.106.40.103
$ host -t MX jandg-cooper.com
Host jandg-cooper.com not found: 3(NXDOMAIN)
I'm not sure whether this is a problem with Bind or Enom.
Any clues?
