I've encountered a similar issue when using DSA keys with BIND 9.5.1-P1. The dynamic records weren't added to a master zone signed with DSA keys - the journal file doesn't get created at all, just similar messages logged in syslog:
Mar 19 11:53:23 new named[28753]: client 172.20.210.4#38722: view default4: updating zone 'fred.com/IN': adding an RR at 'h2.fred.com' A Mar 19 11:53:23 new named[28753]: client 172.20.210.4#38722: view default4: updating zone 'fred.com/IN': RRSIG/NSEC update failed: sign failure The solution was to sign every dynamic zone with RSASHA1 keys only.
