I don't know for certain, but absent prior knowledge gathered by
unbound wrt. IPv6 reachability of name servers, resolving a
domain where the name servers have published AAAA records but
where unbound's IPv6 connectivity is present but hampered or
broken might cause resolution of the target domain to take longer
than the client is willing to wait.

Since the exact failure mode has only been vaguely described I
thought it pertinent to also mention this as a potential source
of issues.
