Resolver 2 should send the partial answer it got over UDP to Resolver 1. That answer to Resolver 1 should have the TC bit set on, or not, depending on what you think that RFC 1035 "implies".

In my experience this results in a SERVFAIL.  RFC 2181 has a specific instruction not to do what you suggest:

>> When a DNS client receives a reply with TC set, it should ignore that response, and query again, using a mechanism, such as a TCP connection, that will permit larger replies. <<
