It should servfail.

But that statement leaves the cache intact, where a previously validated
(at home or the office) RR may reside.

If you start logging it should log lots more than that.  If you get

logging enabled.

I think you had a valid entry in the cache, that was returned, without
actually sending queries at SFO.
