All this depends on the registrar.

I've got domains with GoDaddy, which AFAICT just stores the name of the 
nameserver; OpenSRS, which uses glue like you describe; and NetSol, which 
is just plain weird (some of the domains I have with dns.foo.com in their 
nameserver record have one IP, and some have another).

Best of luck sorting it out...
