Yeah. It does. It is.

Well, it's always worked on Ubuntu before. Maybe my configuration is
just odd enough that I stumbled upon a bug?

I compile bind9. As I understand it, a download and compile has
been required to get BIND with a DLZ backend on Ubuntu for some
time. I use the sources that Ubuntu provides:

apt-get source bind9 
It has been some time since I used Ubuntu 14.04, but I am fairly
positive that the version of Bind9 that comes with 14.04 works with
Samba.

Don't do that (too late now though), you could clobber your version of
Samba if somehow Samba gets installed with apt-get or an update.

Yes. Always have been doing this the with the same configure
options.

As I said, you wouldn't be having this problem if you had compiled
Samba as shown on the Samba wiki or had created your own deb packages
(or used Louis packages).
You now need to identify just which libwbclient client the complile
created and use this.

Yes, Rowland, Ubuntu 14.04 and 16.04 repo packages of Bind9 works with
DLZ modification specified in wiki. (I had 14.04 running in VM and use
Bind9 repository packages in my production environment running 16.04.1
LTS.)
