I think I found the reason why dig +trace always failed with a timeout.
>From the announcement of Bind 9.8.1 from earlier today:
* If the server has an IPv6 address but does not have IPv6
connectivity to the internet, dig +trace could fail attempting to
use IPv6 addresses. [RT #23297]
So I only have to update to the new version of named and dig +trace will work. :-)
