I agree it's quite common for zones to give non-deterministic positive answers as a form of load-balancing, where a limited set of A records is randomly (or otherwise) selected from a large set. This is not affected. It's quite hard to see how it could be useful to have inconsistent NSEC bitmaps though. Can you give any kind of hypothetical use case?
