FWIW, another data point on UDP buffer sizes, the ofda.gov nameservers
do not appear to be willing to truncate UDP answers to the client's
requested buffer size:
$ dig +bufsize=1200 +norecur +dnssec -t tlsa _25._tcp.dc4vasmtp01.ofda.gov
@ns01.ofda.gov
returns no answer at all (for any buffer size less than the full 1563
byte answer). So, while TCP actually works if used directly, there is
no TCP fallback since no UDP packets are returned with TC=1. :-(
