DIG is used to test/troubleshoot DNS queries. BIND logging is used to troubleshoot the BIND server itself. Which are you trying to debug?
Also be mindful that BIND will cache any DNS entries it retrieves for the defined TTLs, so if you dig a second time chances are it's not going to go to the Internet, it will answer from cache. If you are trying to examine exactly what BIND is querying then use dig against the server for the requested records while running a packet capture on the server itself. Filter the capture for all DNS packets to see what's happening. Make sure BIND's cache is flushed between digs. If you want to debug the underlying BIND code then you'll need to use an actual code debugger, BIND's debug logging is for debugging the running of the program, so if you want to see it jumping through the various code functions then look at GDB (GNU Project Debugger) - not quite sure what you're hoping to gain from this though.
