Thanks for that, my mistake, indeed if I ask for CNAME instead of
TLSA, unbound successfully verifies the CNAME response, and correctly
returns an "insecure" result due to the opt-out bit.  The SERVFAIL
I see for TLSA is due to the failure to chase the CNAME, which lies
in a lame zone.  It makes sense now.

[ The failure in TLSA resolution breaks DANE SMTP delivery to the
  domain with the lame wildcard CNAME, but that's an operator error
  not an unbound bug. ]

FWIW, this problem is observed at:

    _25._tcp.damhockey.se. has CNAME record s07.hello-clarice.net. (insecure)
    _25._tcp.xn--frjestad-0za.se. has CNAME record s07.hello-clarice.net. (insecure)
    _25._tcp.hockeyshop.se. has CNAME record s07.hello-clarice.net. (insecure)
    _25._tcp.hockeyshopen.se. has CNAME record s07.hello-clarice.net. (insecure)
    _25._tcp.hockeyportalen.se. has CNAME record s07.hello-clarice.net. (insecure)
    _25._tcp.tjejhockey.se. has CNAME record s07.hello-clarice.net. (insecure)

and related issues at:

    _25._tcp.vasterasaren.se. IN TLSA ?
    _25._tcp.bravemonday.se. IN TLSA ?
    _25._tcp.e-kommun.se. IN TLSA ?
