Right; to be more precise, these records are created by 
the query bearing the much-telling name 
"gmysql-insert-empty-non-terminal-query-auth"
That is exactly what is done here: If in domain X you have a record
Z.Y.X, there is a "virtual" subdomain Y implicitly created 
within X - the query just "materializes" this nonexistent 
subdomain in the backend for DNSSEC purposes.


On a side note - It seems you got some mangling wrong

_autodiscover._tcp.testing29.com  SRV [...]

would create 

_tcp.testing29.com  NULL NULL NULL NULL

and not

_tcp.test1.testing29.com  A  NULL NULL NULL NULL

There is nowhere it could pull the "test1" part from, 
and type (where you put the "A") is one of the four 
columns set to NULL when this occurs.

That's why everyone is asked to send unmangled information.


Or you ran into something entirely unrelated to DNSSEC/empty-non-terminal.
