Could you please double check?  This is what I get in a fresh CentOS 7
Docker container:

    # yum install yum-plugin-copr
    # yum copr enable isc/bind
    # yum install epel-release
    # yum install isc-bind
    # scl enable isc-bind -- bash
    # named -v
    BIND 9.18.6 (Stable Release) <id:8dbd488>
    # ldd $(command -v named) | grep jemalloc
    	libjemalloc.so.1 => /lib64/libjemalloc.so.1 (0x00007f1a9d180000)

I also checked on RHEL 8 and the result is the same.  Copr build logs
for BIND 9.18.6 also confirm that named is linked against jemalloc:
