Just for clarification:
If a TLD does not exist, it can neither be signed nor unsigned.
And, officially, the mentioned TLD does not exist. DNSSEC can prove that much (using NSEC records). DNSSEC won't successfully validate something that isn't even supposed to exist. 
Adding a (non-authoritative) zone declaration to BIND does not change this. DNSSEC will still try to validate and fail.
But a "negative trust anchor" could change that and disable the validation for selected zones/domains on your BIND.

Stefan
