Lol, first of all Copernicus, I have made no posts in that stackexchange
thread.  I do have the same concern though, as it is legitimate. 
Second, I believe all the answers there are wrong because an exit node
could not resolve .onion addresses by the time a query gets there.

I suspect that TOR DNS is TCP, and that relays can also resolve.  But
then, so far it seems that no one actually knows.

To those whose skirts I've blown up about DNSSEC, you must not
understand that what we have now is very susceptible to DNS Cache
Poisoning.  This is a serious problem.  And if you don't take this
seriously, either you clearly do not understand the problem, or you are
not telling us why it is not a problem.

IDC if the solution is DNSSEC, DNSCurve, or Waltzing with DNS, but I say
this is a serious problem that must be addressed.  

Yeah, I'm an NSA agent, trying to tell you about a serious problem with
TOR which you are too stupid to see.  pfff  Gourd-head and come after
me, lol.
