The bug report here is likely inaccurate. I don't exactly know where the problem is.

I did some tcpdumps for port 53 traffic. I see that if I did a ping, it requests for the A records of the domain name and indeed the IP addresses are getting returned. However, weirdly, ping then requests for the A records of pod51041.outlook.com.lan. .lan is the search domain on my network as specified with /etc/resolv.conf automatically.

Furthermore, if I disable ipv6, thunderbird and firefox can access the domain, but ping still cannot.

So I don't think this bug report should be filed against systemd, but I don't really know where the problem lies.
