They're the length byte at the start of the text field.  They
belong there.

The axfr-get program only knows how to format SOA, NS, CNAME,
PTR, MX, and A records.  Everything else is written out using
the generic colon record type with an explicit record type and
the literal record contents, which for a TXT record includes the
length byte before each text string.

It wouldn't be hard to add a few lines to axfr-get.c to format
txt records, but there would be no benefit I can see.
