Unfortunately not. Many do but there are some cases, especially with things like global-loadbalancer DNS servers, and firewalls doing DNS content inspection where there are problems (either for all records, or some records especially in-addr.arpa). Unbound had to add fallbacks for this (see the 'caps_fallback' bits in iterator/iterator.c). Some strategies for this are discussed in draft-vixie-dnsext-dns0x20-00.
