Is godaddy wrong in disallowing using my domain as an NS server for itself?

OK, but those are hostnames within your domain. What the OP wanted to do
would be the equivalent of:
example.com. IN NS example.com.
IN A 192.0.2.1 ;Also entered as glue
at the parent servers.
...And expect THAT to work. For you that would be the same as declaring:
gushi.org. IN NS gushi.org. ;etc.....
