So, as the original person that posted the question :)

My question still stands (I'd never presumed this was valid traffic) -
what I'm trying to find out if buried within the trove of stats
produced by 'rndc stats' is there any counter, that counts:

"
Nov 30 00:00:00 client @0xXXXXX X.X.X.X#48536 (.): query (cache)
'./ANY/IN' denied
"

I think you are asking the wrong question and looking at the wrong
feature.  You can probably do what you're after with
statistics-channels.

Thanks - I'll go check that out - it looks far better / correct than parsing the stats file.

As for the wrong question - I don't get why it's 'wrong' to ask if there's a better way of getting the total number of "denied" entries such as the one above, rather than 'cat /var/log/messages | grep | wc -l' type affair ? - Unless 'denied' effectively appears as some other stat already?

At this stage we're trying to work out how much traffic is getting denied (as it's likely junk) vs. regular responses etc.
