Simplest thing to do is to test it, using the -be option. That's what
I'm about to do, because I can't remember the details.

Hmm. I don't have a CNAME for a TXT record available, but for an A
record, it follows the CNAME. I would expect it to do the same for a TXT

Yes, it does.
If you explicitly lookup a CNAME record, you get the value of the CNAME.
