Does the XML value you're looking at measure outbound or inbound 
queries, and are the queries you're sending being served from cache, 
being recursed, or served from authoritative zones?

Which statistics version is this? On bind 9.10 the:

statistics/server/counters[type="opcode"]/counter[name="QUERY"]
statistics/server/counters[type="nsstat"]/counter[name="Request*"]

...give expected and agreeing values for me.
