That's true. There's https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-ietf-dnsop-extended-error-16 which look promising, trying to make it possible to distinguish between the various reasons a recursor might choose to return a SERVFAIL response. It uses an EDNS option to communicate the additional information. As for its implementation status in general or in BIND in particular I'll admit that I don't know off-hand.
