RPZ wildcard passthru ignored

Summary

I have two response-policy zones configured. The first zone is a local whitelist with the policy passthru. The second zone is a local blacklist with the policy given. If the blacklist rpz zone contains www.example.com CNAME . (nxdomain) and the whitelist rpz zone contains a wildcard to whitelist *.example.com with *.example.com CNAME rpz-passthru. then this wildcard is ignored.

This has worked from 9.8 up to 9.14.5 and started not working in 9.14.6 and later (I tested up to 9.16.1)

Steps to reproduce

1. Install bind release 9.14.6
2. Use the named.conf and whitelist.zone, blacklist.zone listed in the configuration file section.
3. Start bind e.g. systemctl start named
4. Use dig to check the behavior and check the logs

dig @::1 www.example.com

What is the current bug behavior?

The wildcard passthru entry in the whitelist.zone is ignored.

What is the expected correct behavior?

The wildcard passthru entry in the whitelist.zone is used.

Relevant logs and/or screenshots

Log entry on 9.14.6 where it breaks wildcards for passthru:

12-Feb-2020 15:12:30.481 rpz: info: client @0x7fd7200a2cb0 ::1#58427 (www.example.com): rpz QNAME Local-Data rewrite www.example.com/A/IN via www.example.com.blacklist.zone

Log entry on 9.14.5 where wildcard passthru still works:

12-Feb-2020 15:14:36.229 rpz: info: client @0x7fd5440a2cb0 ::1#45028 (www.example.com): rpz QNAME PASSTHRU rewrite www.example.com/A/IN via www.example.com.whitelist.zone

Possible fixes

It may has something to do with this change in 9.14.6
