If your authorative server isn't truncating at 512 characters
then it is broken, however what I expect you are seeing is
the resolver retrying with TCP after discovering the
truncation.
In the second case you are talking to a server which does
not perform TCP retries on your behalf. I would be upgrading
the second server to one which does perform TCP retries.
