I think I have said this before, if I am not wrong, you can do lookups
(LRQ) against gatekeepers you are not registered to.  I don't think
there is anything in the protocols that say you must be registered.
IFAIK, openh323 even has a syntax where you could say 'call alias x
registered to gatekeeper y', and the code would do the lookup without
first registering to the gatekeeper.

This follows the behaviour you notice: you are not (or at least no
longer) registered, but gm does not know that, and performs a lookup
anyway, which the gatekeeper honours just fine.
