I don't believe it, we discussed this for months here, it was
you who said that ".do..ts." degenerate into .do..ts. and hit
the res_mkquery() wall.

If ".do..ts." are kept as is (quoted), the query for the label
\"\.do\.\.ts\.\" would work, details TBD for the resolver API.

Various errata resolutions and FAQ entries build on your idea
that ".do..ts." degenerate into .do..ts.  And they are plain
nonsense if you suddenly change your mind about this.  

If SPF implementations are supposed to deal with ".do..ts."
or "\b\a\c\k\s\l\a\s\h" as is that should be also tested, IMO.

What is the query for a literal "\b\a\c\k\s\l\a\s\h" label
with a resolver API, is that \"\\b\\a\\c\\k\\s\\a\\s\\h\" ?
