You're right, I did miss your point, quite thoroughly :-)

I am guessing that the answer is that there's no corresponding facility in 
DNSSEC to for a policy identifier to be published with a DNSKEY RR, but I say 
that largely ignorant of X.509 and attendant CA policy and hence perhaps am 
still misunderstanding what you're looking for.

In X.509 each cert can contain a policy OID that indicates the policy under which the cert was issued. Thus, when a CA changes it's policy it can issue certs under the new policy with the new policy OID. This makes it clear to relying parties what policy is in effect, and when a CA changes its policy, irrespective of
other changes, e.g., key rollover.
