I am not the best candidate to answer questions about DPD. I am mainly
interested in DPV (as some might imagine). 

Anyway, if I understand Mike Myers remark correctly, if a DPD server
is essentially untrusted, then it could basically just rewrite a relayed
response. 

A DPD server might have performed an OCSP check or a DPV check (for example
to validate a CA cert.) The response should be sent back to the DPD
client, this can be used by the client to make a decision about the
acceptablity of the path.
