That would explain a lot but it would have been more useful if the rndc command had returned an error saying something like "start command unknown" rather than accepting the command and indicating a communication problem.
It's operating per design and it's operating properly; rndc is nothing more than an interface to allow admins to provide commands to the running named instance and if named isn't running there is nothing that rndc is able to do from that point forward so it indicates to the user that it can't communicate - seems logical to me.
