Copying the question into the response is actually required:

   The minimal response MUST be the DNS header, question section, and an
   OPT record.  This MUST also occur when a truncated response (using
   the DNS header's TC bit) is returned.

It would seem as Mark suggests though that sometimes the answers coming
