You're using inline-signing?  Which server do you have doing the signing?

Name servers can get out of sync because the slaves haven't refreshed
recently, but in that case I would expect the master would be ahead of
the slave, not the other way around.

If you're using inline-signing and you have the slave signing, then
the slave's serial number would get ahead of the master's... but in
that case, the master should be "hidden" -- it shouldn't be listed
in the NS RRset for the zone, and a consistency check should ignore
it.
