Debug messages are always mysterious - they're not documented, as near as I can tell, anywhere. The only way to figure them out is to look at the source code, and with BIND 9, that's reportedly no fun even if you're a programmer. In this case, if I had to guess, I would say that this message simply says that your server is not putting the "ra" flag on a reply packet sent to the address in question.
