If I'd to take a wild guess, I'd  say syslog is configured to send 
output to the tty for certain users (such as root).  eg:

	*.notice;auth.debug		root

Netstat no doubt looked up a bunch of mappings for the first part of
the netstat output (the "inet" listings).  Named noticed that one of
these zones was out of date and being a secondary for that zone so it
loaded the newer version.  Named then sysloged the fact that it loaded
a new zone.

Were you logged in as root and does your syslog write log_info
messages to the root's tty?

/usr/src/usr.sbin/named/named/db_load.c:1409:

		syslog(errs ? LOG_WARNING : LOG_INFO,
		       "%s zone \"%s\" %s (serial %lu)",
		       zoneTypeString(zp), zp->z_origin,
		       errs ? "rejected due to errors" : "loaded",
		       (u_long)zp->z_serial);


Now what is curious is that LOG_INFO is one notch below the stock
syslog.conf's *.notice .  I'm assuming that your syslog logs one notch
lower.
