The results you are seeing come from the way DNS wildcards work.
See for example this parahgraph in
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wildcard_DNS_record
To quote RFC 1912, "A common mistake is thinking that a wildcard
MX for a zone will apply to all hosts in the zone. A wildcard
MX will apply only to names in the zone which aren't listed in
the DNS at all." That is, if there is a wild card MX for
*.example.com, and an A record (but no MX record) for
www.example.com, the correct response (as per RFC 1034) to an
MX request for www.example.com is "no error, but no data"; the
expected response is the MX record attached to *.example.com.
In other words, the existence of the a.b.c.myzone.fr RPZ record
requires that the *.fr wildcard not match any sub-domain of myzone.fr.
To get what I understand to be the desired (albeit surprising)
results, try:
a.b.c.myzone.fr CNAME a.b.c.myzone.fr.
*.a.b.c.myzone.fr A 127.0.0.17
*.b.c.myzone.fr A 127.0.0.17
*.c.myzone.fr A 127.0.0.17
*.fr A 127.0.0.17
