I can provide some statistics for this behavior.

There are currently around 2 million delegations in .ch. 568 domain
names are hosted on authoritative name servers where all of them do not
respond to some query types. A little more common is that only some do
not respond to some query types.

I had the feeling that this only facilitates kaminsky style cache
poisoning attacks but your example is indeed another attack vector.
