Glue record in different domain

Gurus,

pb.com delegates goober.pb.com to ns.jelly.com.  Normally one would write an NS
RR and a glue record in pb.com:
        goober.pb.com.  IN      NS      ns.jelly.com.
        ns.jelly.com.   IN      A       1.2.3.4

but BIND 8.x will complain about ns.jelly.com. not in pb.com.  Can I pull off a 
little deception and write the glue as:
        goober.pb.com.          IN      NS      ns-jelly.pb.com.
        ns-jelly.pb.com.        IN      A       1.2.3.4

even though the SOA RR and the NS RR for goober will say ns.jelly.com is the
name server?  Why should the name server at pb.com care about a little name
discrepancy as long as it can find the host it delegates to?

QCT
