That's because stub resolvers are not recursive resolvers.

No-one should be querying your authoritative servers unless they are themselves a full recursive resolver, and those will handle this situation just fine.

Serving A records for other zones isn't valid anyway - for security reasons they'll be ignored (after all, you could be trying to poison the far end cache, and are not authoritative for the zones containing the CNAME target)

Can you give more info about how this is causing actual problems, versus problems with dig/perl/whatever?
