Wow, it responds with a label less, and another mangled.

Our hypothesis:
The Cisco device parses the message and saves PTR records in a 4 byte
buffer. It iterates all labels and stores it in the buffer* using
modulo 4 to prevent buffer overflows. It then forwards the parsed
packet instead of the original.

* either with 'add' or 'or':
  165+80 = 245
  165|80 = 245

Which is all of course, madness.
