Comment:

 This may be a security-sensitive bug, as various client resolver libraries
 may log invalid responses such as this. Information about DNS queries
 being done by the client, then, leak into the client's system log. As
 such, this should probably be fixed sooner.

 For instance FreeBSD generates log messages such as:

 {{{
 Jan 23 05:18:25 host curl: gethostby*.getanswer: asked for "ifconfig.me IN
 AAAA", got type "A"
 Jan 23 05:18:43 host wget: gethostby*.getanswer: asked for "ifconfig.me IN
 AAAA", got type "A"
 }}}
