Well DNS (not EDNS) is limited to 512 octets so you unless there are real links (not ones artificially constrained to demonstrate a issue) this should not be a issue in practice.
No, fortunately not. But it's still VERY wrong and it must be fixed.
Note for IPv6 one sets IPV6_USE_MIN_MTU on the UDP socket so this should be a non-issue there.
In IPv6 PMTUD is handled at the IP layer so the second packet that's too large will be fragmented at the source, so there is no issue.
