Has anyone else seen this problem?
No. I usually see some change in the permissions (/var/named/chroot/var/named/ loses group write and named logs some complaints but still works) when updating named. I think I've seen this happen several times and with the last update as well. I've not taken this serious as it didn't stop named from working. I assume the write permissions are only necessary for client DNS updates which I do not use. I remember there was a more serious problem a year or so ago, when an update stopped named from working because it overwrote some files. So, the upgrading experience has been less smooth with named than with other packages, but I haven't seen what you experienced.
