This bug involved unbound failing to resolve at all nameservers, and
then trying to get the parental-delegation information.  This is great
to resolve troublesome names normally, but when a configuration entry
is present, this is not supposed to happen.  The issue was code in
iterator/iterator.c:can_have_last_resort() which was fixed for this
issue (commit r2882).

Best regards,
   Wouter
