I'm unable to reproduce this error.

$ named-checkzone -v
9.6.1-P1

$ named-checkzone abcxyz.com abcxyz.com-hosts
zone abcxyz.com/IN: loaded serial 2009103001
OK

$ cat abcxyz.com-hosts
$TTL 1D
@	SOA	localhost.	hostmaster	2009103001	8H	2H	1W	2H
	NS	localhost.

Just to be sure, I re-ran the test with "-i full" in the command line,  
with the same result.

Could it be that, for a brief time, those names were CNAME'd to the  
names indicated, and then set back to being A records? Of course, the l.google.com 
  zone is different depending on where you are in the world, so it's  
conceivable that these values are different where you are than where I  
am.
