bind-9.16 fails to start with error "directory '/path/to/directory' is not writable" in RHEL9

Issue

After bind configuration migration to Red Hat Enterprise Linux 9 (bind-9.16) from earlier releases, named.service or named-chroot.service fail to start with the following error messages:

Dec 11 22:47:14 rhel-9.4 named[5884]: loading configuration from '/etc/named.conf'
Dec 11 22:47:14 rhel-9.4 named[5884]: directory '/etc/named' is not writable

Dec 11 22:47:14 rhel-9.4 systemd[1]: Failed to start Berkeley Internet Name Domain (DNS).

The same bind configuration doesn't cause service failure for bind-9.11 on RHEL7 and RHEL8.
