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.
