Note that the forward will only work for clients that have recursion 
allowed.

No, bind does not check if the subdomain is delegated. If it has configured 
the domain, BIND provides it.

you can not delegate wildcard.

In the fact, it should work as you did it, unless
- a bug in the BIND
- a bug in your configuration, maybe you have missed something.

Do you use zones? Are you using correct bind server?
Note that if you slave "e164enum" to another server, the another server 
knows NOTHING about 4.6.1.8.3.e164enum, and that's why you SHOULD have the 
delegation.
However, since you can not delegate to different port than 53, for these 
cases you will need delegate to your bind with "forward" zone (or maybe 
static-stub), therefore clients will need recursion allowed.
