It seems to work fine on MacOS for me (but I may not have tried Sierra,
I tried uname version 16).

Is this that macos that inhibits file changes in places and that breaks
your setup, or is the firewall inhibiting network access?  It should
work, but if it doesn't maybe enable verbosity higher and see why the
queries time out; i.e. what unbound is saying (and I guess that the
local firewall is inhibiting network access?).

Best regards, Wouter
