I haven't looked at this particular issue at all, but in the past I have seen 
individual nameservers that are authoritative for particular zones drop in and 
out during periods of high traffic or instability (e.g. attack, routing 
oscillations, flash crowds, other issues).

The stock configuration of the unbound packages I have used over the years has 
seemed to me to be quite aggressive at penalising nameservers that are 
unavailable to avoid repeated queries; I have definitely seen examples where 
all the nameservers for a particular domain are penalised simultaneously 
because they have been individually unavailable during a short period, even 
though there had not been a time where all of the nameservers were unavailable 
simultaneously (to the extent that I could tell).

This is observation is highly anecdotal and not supported by data but I thought 
I'd mention it anyway :-)
