That does seem incorrect (though under the circumstances it may
be harmless).  Could you please report it to bind9-bugs at isc.org,
including details of how you made the changes?

Not a bug, as noted elsewhere.

BIND doesn't currently provide a mechanism for that. If it's something
you need, please send a feature request to bind-suggest at isc.org.
