This highlights the need for a test environment, don't apply untested
updates to production systems, it'll help you avoid running into
issues like this where something in the product has changed and then
you're forced to cobble together an ad-hoc solution to "just fix it"
on-the-fly.

Not sure whether BIND would detect this or not but what about using a
hard link? Underlying file would be the same but filenames different
(though with the caveat of "these should be read-only master zones, no
DDNS, not a slave zone")
