I'm not sure what the theoretically "correct" way for the reg*'s to
resolve this is, but in practice you're right, the results are
undefined. If these are all hosts and records that you control, the
short answer is, "be careful not to do that."

If you've run into a situation where a hostname for a domain you now
control has stale glue your best point of contact is your registrar
for com/net/org/info/biz/us.
