As I recall from working with SUSE Linux in the past, that's correct,
but it's a symlink. /var/lib/named/var/lib/named -> ../.., or
something like that. It links back to /var/lib/named (the chroot dir
root) itself.
This way, you can disable the chroot jail and nothing breaks. (/etc/
named.conf is copied into the chroot environment every time you
(re)start named with the init script.)
