well it is now, but if you look at the message, that wasn't the serial
on the slave until i did rndc reload [zone] on the slave; and if you
look, the serial number of the zone on the slave was different a minute
before i changed the zone.

i do note that the second slave nameserver has the correct info now
without any intervention, but i'm assuming this is because the zone was
transfered again due to the refresh interval.  however i'm still
confused - why doesn't the zone reload as soon as the notify is sent?

the serial number HAS changed though (see the two sets of serial numbers
above)
