I had forgotten this important piece of information.  Thank you for
pointing this out.  The packets still seem to be getting through to
the BIND daemon, however, because I can still query the box from the
Internet.

Yes, the rule gets hit and it returns an answer to the DNS query
anyway.  I saw it increment from 10 to 11 when I ran the query:

11   692 REJECT     udp  --  *      *       10.100.1.1
0.0.0.0/0          udp dpt:53 reject-with icmp-port-unreachable
