The don't look like "minimal truncated responses" to me. The answer
sections are not empty, even if +noedns is used, and with edns one
can get at least 1140-byte responses (with TC set) out of all the root
servers that I tried.

To me, a minimal truncated response is one with at most the question
section non-empty.
