I only see the problem occur after I update, not when I restart/shutdown 
named.
And I kinda had the same feeling, about not wanting to bother to try and 
figure it out, but this has happened so many times before, I got kinda 
annoyed of it :P

And your solution, using chmod, might work if named recreates journal 
files every restart. But when I restart named, it does not recreate 
them. It just leaves them as they are (neither does it chown/chmod them 
for that matter). Maybe RHEL recreates jnl files every restart, but that 
I don't know :)

Anyway, the bug is filed under:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=455894
