Ok, let me investigate this further, maybe I didn´t catch it rightly.
For the record, the certificate was revoked

Given that this contradicts the facts alleged in Quirin's tests and the
feedback from BuyPass I would strongly recommend doing further testing to
ensure that StartCom's systems detect [and log] timeouts and other failures
properly for CAA records. I'm sure Quirin will try to offer reasonable
assistance in reproducing the problem.

It is definitely worth noting that with DNSSEC _enabled_ a CA ends up having
cryptographic proof of their results - which could be recorded in case of
any dispute. If you had such proof for the permissive CAA record we wouldn't
need to investigate StartCom's systems or policies, we could examine the
record and conclude that Querin made an error somewhere and permitted this
issuance without knowing anything about StarCom or needing to take you at
your word.
