Probably. Programs that run from a chroot jail are usually better to
be statically linked. This should save you having to copy a bunch of
files - shared libraries, /dev/null or /dev/zero (maybe), etc, etc -
into the chroot jail. Perhaps zone transfers are failing because
named-xfer can't find these things when it is invoked by named running
in the chroot jail?
