Doh.

The behavior I saw was a shorter authority section and no additional section 
(or TO)
when I specified a UDP buffer of 200 as opposed to sending a non-EDNS request.
But I do see that an EDS request with UDP buffer size 512 gives me
exactly the same result as with buffer size 200.  I speculate
bind will skip part of its usual authority section and provide no
TC bit as long as it can give the full answer section.

The actual issue I was investigating is indeed unrelated.  I was merely
eliminating possibilities.
