This is probably fixed in 3.3.1:
Discovered by John J and Robin J, the PowerDNS Recursor did not process
packets that were truncated in mid-record, and also did not act on the
'truncated' (TC) flag in that case. This broke a very small number of
domains, most of them served by very old versions of the PowerDNS
Authoritative Server. Fix in commit 1740.

3.3.1 has not been formally released, but is in wide production and can be
found on http://svn.powerdns.com/snapshots/pdns-recursor-3.3.1.tar.bz2

3.3.1 here resolves auinmeio.com.br|MX just fine, although it takes a
stunning 193 packets (!!).

However, it does end up delivering a slightly weird answer, which we are
investigating (trailing bytes).

Can you open a ticket on http://wiki.powerdns.com? 

thanks!
