My provider traced the problem and today they said

  [.] der [.] eingesetzte BIND [hat] in der Kombination aus den
  Flags des anfragenden Client [.] und den autoritativen
  Nameservern [.] Probleme [.]

  the used bind has problems in the combination of the flags the
  client uses, and the authoritative servers on the other side.

With a lot of "shall" and "possibly".  Anyhow, they pointed me to
a PowerDNS server now.  (Now i get a lot of errors with the
dnsbl.sorbs.net i use, but whatever ;)

In the meantime i had placed the freebsd domain in /etc/hosts,
most other failing lookups refer to spam domains that i do not
care about.

Ciao.

P.S.: the possibility to make dnsmasq authoritative for IPv6 when
it yet only served IPv4 via an entry in a --dhcp-host file would
be fantastic.  (Or, maybe even better yet, even if it did _not_
yet serve any DHCP related, but a query for a name that has an IP
assigned there, or a name which only has a MAC, i.e., pre-reserve
that IP, maybe?  Thanks for dnsmasq.)
