My workaround is a CfnRecordSetGroup:

    new route53.CfnRecordSetGroup(this, props.domainName, {
      hostedZoneName: hostedZone.zoneName,
      recordSets: [
        {
          name: `${props.domainName}`,
          type: "A",
          aliasTarget: { dnsName: cloudFrontDistribution.domainName, hostedZoneId: CloudFrontHostedZoneId }
        },
        {
          name: `*.${props.domainName}`,
          type: "A",
          aliasTarget: { dnsName: cloudFrontDistribution.domainName, hostedZoneId: CloudFrontHostedZoneId }
        }
      ]
    });

Seems to be fixed by using the full record name (e.g. ‘subdomain.domain.com.’) instead of only subdomain. Still I think this is a bug, since only subdomain should also work according to CDK documentation.
