Related (and imho a bug), if you introduce a zone error in the unsigned
zone, it does not ignore the unsigned data, but instead stops working
fully.

eg, add:

dname.example.com. DNAME foo.bar.
dname.example.com. CNAME foo.bar.

You can't have cnames and dnames at the same level, so it is rightfully
ignored, but IMHO no reason to stop signing the rest, or at least keep
resigning the signed zone and not taking input from the new unsigned
zone.
