Yes, it looks like a bug. It is likely that there was indeed some 
confusion between the protocol the query was received on and the one 
used to contact the backend.
I know I had to clean that up in [1], because it introduces the ability 
to forward UDP queries over TCP/TLS, for example, so it made things even 
more complicated. So I know this will be fixed in 1.7.0, but we should 
fix that in 1.6.x as well. Would you mind opening a bug report in GitHub 
[2]? Otherwise I'll do so we remember to look into it.
