This is RedHat's policy for bind. The working directory does not need to be writable, and RH's bind maintainer Adam Tkac has explained this on numerous occasions.
Thanks for the hint. I cannot see that he explained that "on numerous occasions", but I can see some bug reports about this, for instance http://www.mail- archive.com/fedora-package-announce@redhat.com/msg26692.html As long as they keep doing this and *not* change the reporting at the same time they will get questions about it.
