TL;DR 9.18 is stricter than 9.16 at handling junk responses from
authoritative servers.

I think there were even "DNS flag day"s when operators were supposed to install/configure systems that comply to standards.

After next DNS flag say (none announced afaik) we should expect broken servers stop being supported - whoever owns one, will have troubles.

Looking at a packet capture for this from my own BIND server (9.18.14) the
response from 195.178.56.17 is FORMERR, which tends to mean that it objects
to something in the query. The correct response to something you don't like
is to ignore it, so this server is not obeying protocol and 9.18 is not
going to try and work around broken behaviour.

I disabled sending of cookies to this server and now it works. It could be
that it doesn't like cookies, or just any EDNS option that it doesn't know
what to do with. Either way, it should be fixed.

I have a bind-9.18.7 system on fedora37 and having some strange errors

$ host info.apr.gov.rs
Host info.apr.gov.rs not found: 2(SERVFAIL)

in my bind logs I have the following:

In the limited search results I've found for this, I believe it has
something to do with dnssec or EDNS, but I really don't know how to
troubleshoot this. Is this a known problem?

It also appears to be happening with even hosts like ticketmaster?
16-May-2023 10:21:09.348 lame-servers: FORMERR resolving '

The host resolves fine on my bind-9.16.38 system using the exact same
configuration, as well as most or all public resolvers.
