It seems like pdns auth servers are answering SERVFAIL queries when the subdomain is malformed in the query. It is testable on powerdns.com <http://powerdns.com> domain - which I assume is hosted on a pdns-auth backend.

That behaviour can be configured via the 8bit-dns parameter [1], which default to false. It used to be an issue for some PowerDNS backends but my understanding is that it should be safe to turn it on nowadays.
