I confirm the effect (same release). Or rather, the NODATA does get cached,
as shown by a "!DNSKEY" count in the statistics display, but a new request
goes back to the authoritative servers again anyway, as shown by the outgoing
queries count and by the SOA in the authority section of the NODATA response
having its original value.
