There is created pihole issue for in fact dnsmasq problem:

https://github.com/pi-hole/FTL/issues/2737

dnsmasq fails where both unbound and bind9 pass the verification as 
insecure. The problem is that domain has incorrect owner name in RRSIG: 
cloudflare.net.

I will try to create patch sometime around christmas, but just wanted to 
make it known. Somebody might be faster. Verified it happens on last 
released dnsmasq. Have not tried last git, but expect that is affected 
as well.

it is okay by other implementations:

delv rivcoed.org.

unbound-host -rvDt A rivcoed.org.

I think because rivcoed.org. DS record is not present anyway, signature 
does not need to be checked in this case. dnsmasq fails too early.

Cheers,
Petr
