I've experienced this as well.  A DNSSEC aware, non-validating BIND
resolver does not return NSEC(3) RRs for responses containing expanded
wildcards.  If you turn on validation, it returns NSEC RRs just fine.  Any
validating resolvers (including other BIND resolvers) using the
non-validating BIND resolver recursively cannot validate wildcard
responses.  I thought I had reported this issue to bind9-bugs many months
ago, but I can't seem to find any record of it in my email...  I also can't
find my sunglasses.
