Though you said the temp files were owned by root and mode 700... Named
won't be able to work with them.

I might hazard a guess that the other user's sticky bit hasn't been set
for your /tmp directory. I've had that happen to me.
e.g. This is how mine is set:
ls -dl /tmp
drwxrwxrwt 16 root root 4096 Apr 22 15:33 /tmp
See the chmod map page for how to set the sticky bit.
Though, I'd have thought any named temp files would have ended up
inside: /var/named/chroot/var/tmp
