Even if the local (unbound) resolver performs DNSSEC validation and
signals a secure result via the "AD" bit in the DNS reply, a
sufficiently recent "glibc" will suppress the AD bit unless
/etc/resolv.conf sets "trust-ad" resolver option:

The most likely problem is that this is not set in your
/etc/resolv.conf file.

Note that you should not trust the "AD" bit from *remote* nameservers
whose replies to your libc stub resolver traverse insecure networks.
In practice this means that /etc/resolv.conf MUST ONLY contain the
127.0.0.1 and/or ::1 nameserver addresses.
