Comment (by s7r):

 I understand the stuff that is triggering this is GoDaddy's policy to
 block high volume DNS requesting IP addresses. This will happen regardless
 of what application is making those DNS requests (unbound, named, etc.) so
 why exactly is unbound's fault here?

 If it's something in unbound and only in unbound, we should patch it
 upstream since it's not Tor related. If it's something in the Tor daemon
 which interacts with unbound in such a broken way we should patch, but can
 you please explain more?
