I cannot reproduce this. Could you try the following?
a) create a valid crontab as /etc/cron.d/foobar
* * * * * root date >> /tmp/dates
b) post output of the following command:
# ls -ld --full-time /etc/cron.d{,/foobar}
c) invalidate crontab
* 666 * * * root date >> /tmp/dates
d) repeat step b)
e) correct crontab
* * * * * root date >> /tmp/dates
For me, after step e), everthing works as normal...
