Not true.  DNAMEs enable CNAME synthesis to other domains, after which
synthesis the response works just like regular CNAME response would.  The
authentication works by authenticating the DNAME (using the RRSIG covering
the DNAME).  The CNAME requires to RRSIG because it is known that all names
under the DNAME are synthesized (to the target domain), which has been
proven by the existence of the DNAME record itself.

DNSSEC will try to find keys for klam.biz NOT klam.com, which results in

Actually, it must try to find authentication chains for the appropriate
records in *both* klam.biz and klam.com.

Again, this is not unlike regular (non-DNAME) out-of-zone CNAME examples,
such as:
