Using GNU Emacs 26.1 (build 1, x86_64-w64-mingw32) of 2018-05-30
How to reproduce:
1. Call dig interactively.
2. Enter: heise.de MX
Observed results:
...
;; QUESTION SECTION:
;heise.de\032MX. IN A
...
Expected results:
...
;; QUESTION SECTION:
;heise.de. IN MX
...
Workaround:
Evalutating (dig "heise.de" "MX") gives expected results.

"M-x dig" doesn't support the feature you expect when invoked
interactively: it only asks about the host, but doesn't support
getting the TYPE argument from the user. You cannot provide both the
host and the type by typing a string with a blank, because the command
interprets that as the name of a host to query about.
IOW, this is a missing feature, not a bug. Patches to add the missing
capabilities in interactive usage are welcome.
Thanks.

I've now added this to Emacs 28 -- `C-u M-x dig' will prompt for a query
type.
