host is doing lookups for A, AAAA and MX. In the case of a CNAME answer to the A or AAAA queries with no additional-section answers for the CNAME RDATA, I believe host will do additional lookups.

If you want to nail this down, I suggest using dig and specifying the unbound server you suspect has problems explicitly.
