Let me repeat my command lines, on another machine, with a different revision
of dig as well:

stephenson-[~] mcr 1006 %dig +norecurse 165.157.10.64.in-addr.arpa. ptr @dialdns1.uu.net.
stephenson-[~] mcr 1007 %dig +norecurse 165.157.10.64.in-addr.arpa. txt @dialdns1.uu.net.

The only difference is PTR vs TXT. Same server, same QNAME, same
QCLASS. Different QTYPE.

stephenson-[~] mcr 1006 %dig +norecurse 165.157.10.64.in-addr.arpa. ptr @dialdns1.uu.net.
