  | odd SOA record though 20021402, month 14 ?

Serial numbers are just integers after all ... but a common reason for
that kind of thing, is to correct (live with) a typo.   Eg: If the serial
number has a value like 20020708 and someone wants to change it to
represent Aug 12th and makes it 20021208 instead of 20020812 ... rather
than attempt to wind the numbers backwards, the months can just be left
counting up.

No idea if that is what happened, but it might have been.  I have
certainly done that before.

  | f.5.ip6.int.            NS      flag.ep.net.

Yes.   I asked Bill Manning if it was not perhaps time to rid the world
of that obsolete nonsense.   He had some pathetic excuse for keeping it...

  |  *** ip6.int SOA record at ns.isi.edu is not authoritative

The ip6.int zone is transferred using TSIG.   The key changed a while ago.
Perhaps ns.isi.edu hasn't updated its key?   Bill?
