Don't you have to look at it the other way?  From a client that's
behind some broken box that tries to look up TLSA records?

I would really hope that if someone deploys DNSSEC that their
nameservers would actually support DNSSEC.  But that doesn't mean
that a client trying to look up the DNSSEC related records is able
to.
