synthetic DNS64 response for sync-na.dyn.itg.com

I'm having trouble getting Bind to create a synthetic DNS64 response for
sync-na.dyn.itg.com. although an A record exist. My Bind is configured
with DNS64:

        dns64 64:ff9b::/96 { break-dnssec yes; };

The auth nameservers for the domain are busted for sure. They are
returning SERVFAIL for the AAAA query
(dig @dds1.itginc.com. sync-na.dyn.itg.com. AAAA). But I would
expect Bind to fall over to creating a synthetic response,
as that is required according to RFC6147 section 5.1.2.

Am I missing something or is this a bug in Bind? I'm running bind.x86_64
32:9.9.4-29.el7_2.4

I have added three digs below, one that shows that DNS64 works properly,
then one for AAAA and one for the A record.

Many thanks /Stephan
