Ah yes, very helpful, it also mentions:
https://bz.apache.org/SpamAssassin/show_bug.cgi?id=7095

Which concludes its a debian bug and not an SA issue, because debian
included a pre-release.

But I would say, for sake of SA robustness it would be better to apply the
suggested fix as mentioned in the debian bug report:

$txtdata_can_provide_a_list = version->parse(Net::DNS->VERSION) >=
version->parse('0.69');

So the sa-update does not break if anyone, for any reason needs to use a
pre-release version of NET::DNS
