It's because wildcards in the DNS are crazy and totally abnormal, but
sadly ossified tradition means it cannot be considered a bug. (It's also
intimately tied up with the subtle semantics of NXDOMAIN, and rigidly
enforced by DNSSEC.) It's annoying because it makes wildcards a lot less
useful than one might hope.
