Actually, not all DNS queries fail to receive a response—only some do, 
especially for domains starting with "www".
The only difference of query packets between  version 2.91 and  version 2.90 is 
EDNS0 header. 

Perplexing ISP firewall.

Have you tried to handle this with your provider?
 
EDNS is 25 years old (RFC 2671, August 1999) and required for many 
functionalities, especially since many DNS replies are bigger than the old 
512B maximum for DNS UDP packets.
