It has not been fixed, because it is the normal behavior for upgrading
caching-nameserver.

RH has addressed this issue many times, here are some:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=145244

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=145094


RH says that people should not use the /etc/named.conf or any other
files produced by caching-nameserver (or even use caching-nameserver) on
a machine that also contains named primary zones and leave caching-
nameserver installed.
 
Since it is the default behavior in RHEL is it also the default behavior
in CentOS-3.  It will probably never be changed.
