A lot of enterprises do not run even the same operating system or
management software for their internal non-IANA fakeroot systems as the
external one, so one needs to be careful about the source of that data ;-)

However, zone cut does of course not have to mean server change, so,
if we continue at the same usual practice of cutting at _protocol and
then running a separate zone on the same server, the Additional is still
sent with signatures. Test case:

dig _phantasy._sctp.besserwisser.org SRV +dnssec +norec @primary.se

...which returns:

_phantasy._sctp.besserwisser.org. 27 IN SRV     0 0 4711 
some.sub.besserwisser.org.

Name server primary.se holds besserwisser.org, _sctp.besserwisser.org,
sub.besserwisser.org and primary.se. All are signed and the delegations
are secure[0]. Asking for a  SRV record as above returns data from the two
children, the zone for the name server, and implicitly (if this had been
a full-service resolver) DNSKEY and RRSIG materials for besserwisser.org
as well, because they of course are needed to validate the chain from
the SEP.
