You can use lsof to view all open files used by named... if you do that
you will see that it is not actually chrooted at all... using the same
option with bind9 built from source on OpenBSD, and chrooted into
/var/named by the -t option:

(root@doberman) ~ # lsof | grep named
named     18211     named  cwd   VDIR       0,20        512 1140352 /var
(/dev/wd1e)
named     18211     named  rtd   VDIR       0,20        512 1140352 /var
(/dev/wd1e)
named     18211     named  txt   VREG       0,19    5892042  719229 /usr
(/dev/wd1d)
named     18211     named  txt   VREG       0,19      61440 1374538
/usr/libexec/ld.so
named     18211     named  txt   VREG       0,20       6429 1163022
/var/run/ld.so.hints
named     18211     named  txt   VREG       0,19     594040 1669247
/usr/lib/libc.so.26.2

You can see that the process is actually accessing files in /usr and
/var that are outside of the chroot jail...

To do it better than this:
