After more investigation:

* the domain is delegated to two broken Web load balancers, probably Radware
Alteon (tested with another Alteon boxes)
* a DANE extension is installed in my Firefox and sends requests for
_443._tcp.www.ratp.fr
* The incorrect response to these requests (NXDOMAIN but without a
SOA) seems to trigger the problem
