Wildcard MX breaks A record

Experts,

I have searched the FAQ & Archives of last 3 months and did not see this mentioned.  I need to know why this does not work after the wildcard MX was added.


; zone foo.com
@  IN   SOA .... blah blah

   IN   NS  ns.foo.com.
   IN   MX  10 mail.foo.com.
*  IN   MX  10 mail.foo.com.
   IN   A   1.2.3.4

ftp	IN	A	1.2.3.5
dialup	IN	A	1.2.3.6
www	IN	CNAME	foo.com.

ftp and dialup resolves fine.  but the foo.com A RR and its dependent, www, does not resolve.  Here's what it looks like:


> ftp.foo.com.
Server:  ns.foo.com
Address:  1.2.3.1

Name:    ftp.foo.com
Address:  1.2.3.5

> foo.com.
Server:  ns.foo.com
Address:  1.2.3.1

Name:    foo.com

> www.foo.com.
Server:  ns.foo.com
Address:  1.2.3.1

Name:    www.foo.com


foo.com and www.foo.com is not resolved.  Is this a bug/break?  Have I done something fundamentally dumb?  Could I have tweaked the compile or the named.conf?
