Seems like dig doesn't always advertise a big enough buffer, I was having the same issue as you. If you set the buffer size on the command line it works as directed.

Borderline dns-ops, sorry folks! - but this is interesting as we've been talking about ipv6 being operational, and this is part of it...

If you are seeing TC between the resolver and the server and the TCP

something in the path is intercepting the DNS queries.
TC is on the answer from the remote server to my resolver, so yeah, seems like something is messing with the packets.
Don't see any v6 fragments (that'd be a problem since PF doesn't
handle
them on this host).
You should see something like this on the wire. The second query is to answer dig's query over TCP.
I'm not seeing fragments as you are.
Here's what I see:
