First, please read 
https://blog.powerdns.com/2016/01/18/open-source-support-out-in-the-open/

Second, the currently supported version in the 4.2.x train is 4.2.2. We
will generally not investigate bugs in an older version for the same
train. So, normally we'd ask you to first try an upgrade to 4.2.2 or
4.3.0.

However, in this case I found you are running into a known bug (
https://github.com/PowerDNS/pdns/pull/8497). The fix is in 4.3.0 and
up, and 4.2.1 and up. For some reason it did not make it into 
https://doc.powerdns.com/authoritative/changelog/4.2.html, we will fix
that document.

Kind regards,
