I'm seeing the exact same thing.  The domain being looked up is
etrade.com, which doc says has some problems:

ERROR: NS list from etrade.com. authoritative servers does not
  === match NS list from parent (com.) servers

I can lookup www.etrade.com and generate those "refused query"
messages at will.

I'm running 8.3.1, but I think I was seeing this with 8.3.0, also.
