You are mixing authoritative and recursive service in a way that is not going to work well. Forwarding is designed for recursive clients. It doesn't make sense to forward queries on an authoritative server. When BIND forwards to an upstream server it makes recursive queries and expects the upstream server to return a complete response. Your upstream server is not a recursive server: there is no RA bit set in the response, and the response is a referral. BIND is objecting to a "non-improving referral" which means that BIND thinks the server is authoritative for zone X but the referral says zone X is elsewhere.
