This doesn't make any sense. named-xfer doesn't make any value
judgements about the address records it happens to be transferring. And
it doesn't look at "glue records" either; it just attempts a zone
transfer from whatever address or list of addresses it is told to
transfer from.

Hmmm... Now this sounds like a *different* problem/challenge. Seems you
want to "filter" the non-routable addresses out of your zone transfers.
There is no support for this in BIND. Normally, folks run a "split" DNS
where they maintain names in both an internal and an external version of
the zone. The non-routable addresses would only appear in the internal
version.
