WINS records are not a part of the DNS standard.  The error you got is
because the MS DNS included its WINS record in the zone transfer, and BIND
doesn't recognize this.  You need to check the "Settings affect local
server only" box on the MS server.

If you want the secondary servers to be able to look up WINS records,
they'll have to run MS DNS as well; you can't use BIND for that.
