the documentation; like forwarding ONLY applies IF the query is NOT in

No, you've misunderstood.
"forward first" means "try the forwarders, and if you don't get a
reply, try the query yourself starting from the root"
"forward only" means "only ever try the forwarders"
"forward" replies are always cached for the relevant TTL.
OK. This is what I was hoping it meant, but I was not good at
expressing it.
