That's because named has an internal representation of the root zone hints file, as it was when that version of bind was released. Personally, I define it as a stub zone - so that way it will update the file copy. Otherwise, from an admin's perspective, I see no operational difference between these two types. They still list the name servers for the zone (with stub adding the SOA record - of which the serial has to be periodically checked anyway for updates).
