It is only a problem for 'DNSSTUFF'. This has been discussed on the IETF DNS working group mailing list: http://www.ops.ietf.org/lists/namedroppers/namedroppers.2002/msg00452.html "a truncated CNAME chain, where the "next hop" is in a zone the current server isn't authoritative for and recursion is disabled IS a "problem with the name server" and in this case "2" (SERVFAIL) is the appropriate answer." In practice, BIND 8 has the same behaviour as PowerDNS, so if it is a problem in PowerDNS, it is a problem the whole world shares.
