I'm pretty sure it fails because it simply isn't implemented.

The internal server is designed to handle exactly the minimum required
for a small domain that needs to just work.  We may add features of
course, but it isn't a feature war with BIND:  The bind9 plugin is
provided and fully supported because it makes not sense to reimplement
everything from BIND in Samba.
