Hi Matt, the SERVFAIL is probably not caused by DNSSEC because the zone is not signed. The problem is that the zone is broken. There is a CNAME record in the zone apex, which is a violation of the DNS specification (https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc2181#section-10.1). Random resolution failures are quite usual expression of this particular RFC misconduct. Unbound might be able to cope with this problem on it's own. But when used with dnssec-trigger, the DNS queries might be just forwarded to the DNS resolver from DHCP configuration. And that one might cause the failure.
