That's right for the case of bind using another bind as forwarder! I mean asking the first bind or asking the forwarder at the same time would result in the same TTL. Don't know about other DNS server types.

Can you explain that a little further? If my nameserver caches a record with TTL 86400, and someone asks for it again an hour later I hand them the record from my cache using TTL 82800 (not 86400). This is certainly what bind does, if other caching nameservers do it differently then it's a bug IMHO. I would be very surprised if it is different when DNS queries are being forward from one DNS server to another.
