Since you can ask newer BIND based name servers what they are running,
this is easy enough to check.
a.root-servers.net
VERSION.BIND. 0S CHAOS TXT "8.1.2"
b.root-servers.net
VERSION.BIND. 0S CHAOS TXT "8.1.2-T3B"
c.root-servers.net
VERSION.BIND. 0S CHAOS TXT "8.1.2"
d.root-servers.net
VERSION.BIND. 0S CHAOS TXT "8.1.2"
e.root-servers.net
VERSION.BIND. 0S CHAOS TXT "8.2.1"
f.root-servers.net
VERSION.BIND. 0S CHAOS TXT "8.2.1"
g.root-servers.net
VERSION.BIND. 0S CHAOS TXT "8.1.2"
h.root-servers.net
VERSION.BIND. 0S CHAOS TXT "8.1.2"
i.root-servers.net
VERSION.BIND. 0S CHAOS TXT "8.2"
j.root-servers.net
VERSION.BIND. 0S CHAOS TXT "8.1.2"
k.root-servers.net
VERSION.BIND. 0S CHAOS TXT "8.2"
l.root-servers.net
VERSION.BIND. 0S CHAOS TXT "8.1.2-T3B"
m.root-servers.net
VERSION.BIND. 0S CHAOS TXT "8.2"
So I'd say that David Conrad's claim stands.
