Not much of an insight, but I had a similar thing yesterday setting up BIND.
Seems something in the Debian set-up scripts is adding hostnames to localhost
by default. When I removed the hostname (and put it into the following line
"192.168.0.27 mashtela.eisham mashtela"), BIND suddenly started to work.
Looks as though the default set-up should be changed.
