Here needs to be another stub-zone: line to start another stub-zone.

You have to use +dnssec to get the AD bit on the reply.  If the
signature failed you would not get a reply, so I think it validated.

I think the config above may be nicer, but this description could be
some other trouble perhaps, I assume it means it is confused by the lack
of a stub-zone: label creating a new stub-zone entry (and the settings
simply override the name and add an address.)
