:facepalm:

Indeed. I was led down the garden path. The PIDFile setting in the unit 
file can be totally different from the pid-file option in bind. 
Although, they should probably point to the same file.

Yet, the man page for systemd.service (5) states:

Usage of this option [PIDFile] is recommended for services where Type= 
is set to forking.

So, it was probably just a simple misconfiguration and systemd applying 
some of its "magic" to a non-existent file...

Anyway, in my case the PIDFile option is set, be it useful or not, and 
SELinux is running in enforcing mode all without any issues.
