I set up a bare-bones stretch client with two active interfaces as you
did and ran the same command. With two print queues on a stretch server
I got nothing which was significantly different from your output. The
queues were visible to CUPS and there were no errors in the cups-browsed
log.
So I cannot reproduce your problem. I suppose disconnecting the ethernet
connection doesn't do anything for you?
However,

is (to me) a clear indication that something is wrong. My knowledge of
DNS matters is sparse so I think it is time for some help.
Till, Stefan has provided quite a lot of information (is it enough?).
Are we looking at a misconfiguration, a tweak to cups-browsed.conf or a
bug?
Regards,
Brian.
