A total shot in the dark - try starting your local resolver with the
-4 flag (IPV4 only) and clearing your local cache (rndc dumpdb) and
then seeing if that resolves your problem. I'm guessing a wildcard
entry for an IPV6 address is being cached.

Your OpenBSD server is only a resolver correct? or have you configured
the zone on that box as well?
