Running CentOS 6.8 with bind-9.8.2-0.47.rc1.el6_8.4.x86_64

I'm getting lots of log messages of the form

Jan 25 22:11:55 janus named[10123]: validating @0x7f51084b6450:
cloudflare.com A: no valid signature found

CloudFlare's DNSSEC seems to be OK according to
http://dnssec-debugger.verisignlabs.com/cloudflare.net and
http://dnsviz.net/d/cloudflare.net/dnssec/

Looking at the traffic with Wireshark, I see the RRSIG uses
ECDSA Curve P-256 with SHA-256.  Should bind 9.8.2 be able to
recognize that algorithm or is a newer version of bind needed?

Output of named -V (Is the OpenSSL version to blame?)
