As far as I understand the implementation, BIND 10 doesn't send out
notify message triggered by this type of event.  And, yes, it should
be considered a defect.

For a longer term (we have many longer term issues:-), I believe this
should be solved with a higher level design rework on zone management
in general, but that would take time, and at least won't happen within
this project year (by the end of this March).  So my question is
whether you'd like to have an immediate remedy, even if it's an ad hoc
hack (which may be obsoleted in a future version).  For example, it
would be relatively easy to add a bindctl command to xfrout so you can
trigger outbound notifies at least by hand.
