Thanks, I'll mention it to the team.

If anybody else finds CNAME weirdness feel free to send it to me directly (or 
to the list, as you wish).

Like many other DNS providers of a certain shape, Cloudflare provides various 
non-standard DNS features that are generally intended to be invisible to the 
Internet at large, but which achieve certain things that our customers want to 
do. Sometimes they are not invisible, which means they are protocol violations. 
Sometimes we find we have particular custonmers who come to rely on the strange 
behaviour, which makes it more of a challenge to change. But we are working on 
it; our goal is certainly not to cause unpleasant surprises for others, quite 
the opposite.
