The most usual reason is that your ISP displays a page when you incorrectly
enter a dns name, displaying an error. OpenDNS does a similar thing by

some software expects a NXDOMAIN for incorrect results, and your ISP returning
a valid result messes that up (things like history, so now your browser
remembers the mistaken url.)
This does not seems to be the case. It more looks that the ISP just has
locally configured .local domain with empty content, so all requests are
not forwarded to root name servers.

The OP could check this by trying "dig ANY test.local."
However, I recommend to solve this would be change setting of the "local"
domain on the DHCP server (most probably the router) to something else.
Preferrably, own domain if user owns any.
changing avahi domain-name is not a good idea, since all devices use ".local"
- you would have to change it on all devices, and I'm not sure if all devices
support changing it. Also, you can still forget something.
