And although /usr/sbin/named has been updated, it appears not to have

BIND 9.4.2
Thoughts?
You've got p3, don't worry. There was no kernel update in p3, hence
you got the p2 GENERIC kernel. If you want uname to actually show p3,
you will have to recompile your kernel
Shouldn't freebsd-update do this, not only for the kernel and named
and whatever else it updates?
I'm relatively new to freebsd-update, and while I appreciate its speed
advantange over make buildworld/buildkernel, it's confusing when it
applies updates but does not display correct version numbers.

This is not a problem with freebsd-update. The kernel has not changed
between -p2 and -p3, so freebsd-update will not get you an updated one.
If you recompile the kernel afterwards, it will show -p3 because of the
change in /usr/src/sys/conf/newvers.sh (this changes everytime
freebsd-update gets new updates, regardless of whether the kernel is
updated or not). So, simply by recompiling the kernel you will get the
-p3 indication, though nothing much else in this case.
When an update *does* include a new kernel *and* you are running a
GENERIC kernel, freebsd-update will update it. If you are running your
custom kernel, you will have to recompile anyway.
Also note that you need to have the relevant parts installed for
freebsd-update to update them. For example, if you don't have the kernel
sources installed, freebsd-update will *not* download and install them
for you.
