That was in fact the problem, that old version has a TSIG related bug. 
Update to pdns-server 4.2 repo fixed. Note I could not update 
pdns-recursor to 4.1 repo, I got this error on startup:

STL Exception: Unable to open file '/usr/share/dns/root.hints': No such 
file or directory

The file does exist. Some chroot problem maybe due to permissions on the 
file from the 4.0-alpha version that was installed (its 0644)???  I 
didn't try to fix because I can run recursor 4.0-alpha with server 4.2 
and all systems cooperate.
