 I have started seeing these entries in named.log:

 What is that about? This is bind 9.4.2-P2 on Solaris 8.

 What is that about? This is bind 9.4.2-P2 on Solaris 8.
  
If I had to guess, I'd say it's probably a broken IXFR implementation on 
the other end:


if (result == DNS_R_UNCHANGED) {
/*
* This will not happen when executing a
* dynamic update, because that code will
* generate strictly minimal diffs.
* It may happen when receiving an IXFR
* from a server that is not as careful.
* Issue a warning and continue.
*/
if (warn)
isc_log_write(DIFF_COMMON_LOGARGS,
ISC_LOG_WARNING,
update with no effect);

It would be nice to have the zone name and/or master server name in the 
error message. Maybe that was added in a later version (too lazy to 
check right now :-)
