Looks to me like they're just broken:

$ dig @a.gtld-servers.net. adobe.net ns
;; QUESTION SECTION:
;adobe.net.                     IN      NS

;; AUTHORITY SECTION:
adobe.net.              172800  IN      NS      ns1.omtrdc.net.
adobe.net.              172800  IN      NS      ns2.omtrdc.net.

;; ADDITIONAL SECTION:
ns1.omtrdc.net.         172800  IN      A       66.235.157.6
ns2.omtrdc.net.         172800  IN      A       66.235.157.7

$ dig @ns1.omtrdc.net. adobe.net. ns
;; QUESTION SECTION:
;adobe.net.                     IN      NS

;; ANSWER SECTION:
adobe.net.              900     IN      NS      ns-1.adobe.net.
adobe.net.              900     IN      NS      ns-2.adobe.net.

;; ADDITIONAL SECTION:
ns-1.adobe.net.         900     IN      A       66.235.157.6
ns-2.adobe.net.         900     IN      A       66.235.157.7

(Note that they're the same servers with different names.)

I'm not sure how you'd do this, but do you have any idea how many domains have 
NS cycles
across parallel zones that don't work, e.g.:

  foo.tld1. IN NS ns1.bar.tld2

  bar.tld2. IN NS ns2.foo.tld1.

PS: My preference is still "don't do that."
