I have not noticed these errors on my toy server. I had a look at the code and I thought Stephan's explanation was correct. My guess is that he is starting named without root privileges, so it is unable to switch back and forth between users when it is starting up. It switches users so files are created with the correct privileges, and as Stephan said, that is when the warnings are emitted. It might be a combination of starting as an unprivileged user and also providing the -u command line option.
