Because IPv6 aware nameservers make AAAA queries for the
IPv6 addresses of the nameservers and as a result see the
NXDOMAIN / CNAME. The IPv4 only nameservers don't make
these queries, as a matter of practice, and only see the
problems if some client of the nameserver makes a query
for some records with the same name as that of the nameservers.
