The operator of that service seems to be opposed to privacy. Those failures are intentionally caused when it detects certain privacy-respecting configurations, e.g., use of a DNS resolver that doesn't send EDNS Client Subnet information.

I wouldn't jump to that conclusion without sufficient evidence. They've implemented partial DNSSEC. I think there is a configuration problem with their NS servers flapping with their registrar because their domains will disappear for hours at a time as evidenced myself and http://downforeveryoneorjustme.com shows that it's also "down".
