Thanks for the confirmation that the problem was related to DNSSEC.

I didn't see your message until I got home from work; however, I did find the root of the problem late this afternoon.  At each of our Internet egress and ingress points, we have Cisco ASA devices sitting in front of a pair of redundant firewalls.  Each ASA is configured with the default DNS inspect policy that doesn't accept fragmented UDP packets.
