I remember seeing this behavior with the 9.x versions of Bind when trying some 
different ideas.  How many master or servers do you have configured that are 
allowed to update the zone file?  When I had more then one I seen this.  Bind 
would wait about 10 minutes fro the first one in the list to send the new 
zone file.  When this didn't happen it accepted the zone file from the other 
server.
