I have no idea what might be causing this, but you could work around
it by putting "ir.stanford.edu ir" into /usr/vice/etc/CellAlias.  That
would have the added benefit of making /afs/ir and /afs/.ir work
correctly on systems where stanford.edu is (intentionally) not in the
domain search list.

(This is, in fact, what we've always done with our Mac OS X client, so
that /afs/ir works correctly for people who use their Mac off-campus,
etc...  Also because afsdb isn't yet viable on Mac OS X.)
