That doesn't sound right. As long as the suffix matched the zone name, 
it shouldn't have caused the error you got.

254 IN PTR <hostname>

is equivalent to

254.88.8.207.in-addr.arpa. IN PTR <hostname>

if the zone name is 88.8.207.in-addr.arpa.

The more common mistake is to forget the trailing ".", but then it would 
be treated as

254.88.8.207.in-addr.arpa.88.8.207.in-addr.arpa. IN PTR <hostname>

but this still wouldn't cause the error.
