Sorry it took me so long to respond to this - vacations and other things
intruded.
Your problem is a real headscratcher, but after figuring it out, it's
quite obvious, see below ;)

Note that a file that starts with an empty line is not legal; that also
means that you can't put a tree that starts with { }

The tree you get here is actually
{ }
{ "zone" = "zone1.com" { ... } }
IOW, there really is no way to match lns to that tree ...
There's a few ways in which you can address that: (1) remove the [ ... ]
in eol so that it does not produce a tree node, (2) add a label like
".empty" to eol nodes and rm that in your put test or (3) change the
lens so that it allows empty lines (and lines with only comments) - I
actually had a brief look at the PowerDNS code that reads config files,
and it seems to me as if it would deal with blank lines just fine.
