This indicates to me that PowerDNS let you do something you're not  
supposed to do. This error from bind generally indicates you've got  
zone data in this form:

foo.org.		IN NS		ns1.foo.org.
foo.org.		IN NS		ns2.foo.org.
foo.org.		IN CNAME	www.foo.org.
www.foo.org.		IN A		192.0.2.10

You can't mix a CNAME with other data.   If you want this effect, you  
should probably change the CNAME to be another A record for the same  
address that the CNAME's RDATA points to.  So, something like this:

foo.org.		IN NS		ns1.foo.org.
foo.org			IN NS		ns2.foo.org.
foo.org.		IN A		192.0.2.10
www.foo.org.		IN A		192.0.2.10

HTH,
    Matt
