Because it is not legal and never worked the way you thought
it did. If you actually look at the log from 4.9.6 you
will see it complaining as well. It's just that it is a hard
error now.
CNAME is a record that says "the real name for this domain
is ... and look there for the data". In the example above
the MX record should be associated with morgank not emc.
