Google just turned on validation across the whole of 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4. The 
expected behaviour in the case where a response does not validate is to return 
SERVFAIL to the client.

You could check that the queries you are sending are not suffering from poor 
signing hygiene (e.g. use the handy-dandy dnsviz.net visualisation).

If this is a repeatable, consistent problem even for unsigned zones (or for 
zones that you've verified are signed correctly) and especially if it's 
widespread you might want to call google on the nanog courtesy phone and have 
them look for collateral damage from their recent foray into 8.8.8.8 validation.

Raw output from dig/drill and traceroutes to 8.8.8.8/8.8.4.4 are highly 
recommended if you need to take this further.
