I don't immediately see anything wrong with the complete names above.  But
I can see that BIND and unbound both are failing validation for _
tcp.kinderporno.cz.  I am wondering if this is perhaps due to incorrect
handling of NSEC records associated with wildcards.

$ dig +dnssec +noall +authority @ns.forpsi.it _tcp.kinderporno.cz | grep
NSEC | head -1
default._domainkey.kinderporno.cz. 3600    IN NSEC    _jabber._
tcp.kinderporno.cz. TXT RRSIG NSEC

The NSEC record returned doesn't prove that the name doesn't exist
(NXDOMAIN) because the name (_tcp.kinderporno.cz) is in fact an ancestor of
the next field of the NSEC record (_jabber._tcp.kinderporno.cz), as an
empty non-terminal.  But that proof is not required for wildcard, only for
NXDOMAIN status.

But that doesn't explain why unbound would be failing validation on _443._
tcp.kinderporno.cz, unless it is performing validation of _
tcp.kinderporno.cz along the way.

Just a guess.
