What tool are you using to test? I can't reproduce that behaviour with
openssl s_client, but I'm not sure I'm sending a "raw IPv6 address" in
the same way you are:

openssl s_client -connect 127.0.0.1:853 -servername 2001:db8::1

With this command the DoT connection is accepted by dnsdist (with the
OpenSSL DoT provider) and `dq:getServerNameIndication()` returns
'2001:db8::1'.
