No, it is not just irritating.  It is a serious DOS, and a risk that one
does not expect in boxes that cost that much.

You have completely failed to understand.

My understanding of this issue is that it is only likely to be caused by an 
exploited domain, or running OpenBSD. Both should be a rare event (OpenBSD 
isn't really production-ready on this hardware). It's acceptable in the 
majority of cases to just let the domain be unused.

It's a bug, it's irritating, it should be fixed, but it's not a huge problem.
