Right. This is consistent with RFC 6698 section A.2. TLSA lookups need to
work the same way whether the client software is configured to use the
server host name directly, or if it is discovering the host name via a SRV
record. Also, client software can rely on standard resolver alias
processing, rather than having its own duplicate alias handling logic.

I think it would be unwise wrt. consistency with other specifications to
require weird behaviour in the face of a misconfiguration. RFC 2782 and
RFC 5321 say the targets of SRV and MX records must not be aliases.
