That could just be your local caching nameserver. You need to ask his nameservers the same question: % dig @ns.dataloss.nl. 192.122.109.193.in-addr.arpa any ; <<>> DiG 9.2.1 <<>> @ns.dataloss.nl. 192.122.109.193.in-addr.arpa any ;; global options: printcmd ;; Got answer: ;; ->>HEADER<<- opcode: QUERY, status: NOERROR, id: 56202 ;; flags: qr aa rd; QUERY: 1, ANSWER: 3, AUTHORITY: 0, ADDITIONAL: 2 ;; QUESTION SECTION: ;192.122.109.193.in-addr.arpa.

Or any other IP you would randomly pick actually... show me one that doesn't have this behaviour :)
That's really more a factor of the nameserver which provides the answer -- did you ask their servers directly, or did you ask a local caching nameserver which could have answered some or all of that from cache?
60.1.0.10.in-addr.arpa. CNAME bla-reverse.example.org. bla-reverse.example.org. PTR bla.example.org. bla.example.org. A 10.0.1.60
What's wrong with that? No RFC against it ;)
Are you sure about that? IIRC, the definitions of CNAME records and what they can point to are pretty strict.
You are actually saying that one can't setup a DNS for a reverse host then ;)
No, just saying that if you're going to do it, you should do it the proper way -- using RFC 2317.
Cool, why does it work then? <grin>
