In fact, unbound comes with resolvconf integration, so it should know about 
other nameservers coming from DHCP. It is likely that the fact you add 
127.0.0.1 in front of them is preventing that integration from working 
properly. Or maybe it’s a bug.

In any case, even though I still think what you’re doing isn’t supposed to 
work, I think it’s worth reassigning this package to unbound because it’s 
possible that it can be fixed there.
