I haven't poked in detail, but they probably do.

That's a different problem. DNS TXT records are a sequence of strings
each of which can be up to 255 bytes, but a lot of provisioning
crudware only handles one string. A 1K key fits in a 255 byte string,
2K doesn't. From what I've seen, DKIM signers and verifiers will be
updated to handle ECC keys before the crudware handles multiple
strings.
